The remote service dispatches the -remote commands to the command line handler, and, for example, desktop b2g builds don't have handlers for -remote (although thunderbird and seamonkey do). - It is not a cross-platform option, which leads to the following point: - There are other command line ways to do the same thing (at least in Firefox), without having to jump through hoops with -remote 'ping()', because there are command line options to do those same things on non-X11 platforms. For the latter, in Firefox case: - -remote 'openURL(url)' can be replaced with firefox url - -remote 'openURL(url,new-tab)' can be replaced with firefox -new-tab url - -remote 'openURL(url,new-window)' can be replaced with firefox -new-window url - -remote 'openfile(file,...)' is the same as -remote 'openurl(file,...) so, can be replaced as above - -remote 'xfedocommand(openbrowser)' is inherited from the mozilla suite and doesn't make much sense, but can be replaced with firefox -new-window about:home Thunderbird has: - openurl - mailto - xfedocommand(openinbox) - xfedocommand(composemessage) Seamonkey has: - openurl/openfile - mailto - xfedocommand(openbrowser) - xfedocommand(openinbox) - xfedocommand(composemessage) They may not have command line equivalents for all of those, so if they don't, and until they do, we may want to keep the -remote code in toolkit/xre/nsAppRunner.cpp behind a #ifdef for them.

[Bug 1425972] Re: Firefox no longer supports -remote parameter
** Description changed: + [Impact] + As of Firefox version 36, the -remote commandline parameter was dropped. This parameter is used in versions of exo prior to 0.10.3. Because of this, opening any URLs via exo-open will cause a new firefox window to launch at the home screen. + + As reported, this affects the terminal, ubuntu-bug, xchat, and numerous + other applications. + + [Test Case] + 1. Set Firefox as the default web browser in "Preferred Applications". + 2. From a terminal, type the following: + + exo-open "http://www.xfce.org"; + + Expected: Firefox opens at http://www.xfce.org + Actual: Firefox opens at the home page. + + [Regression Potential] + No regressions by this change. This fixes the application call to correctly open URLs. + + --- + + [Original Report] When I click a link from an email it does not work any more. Instead of opening the link in a new tab, Firefox opens a new empty window and does not follow the link. If I change the default browser for my desktop from Firefox to Chrome, then Chrome can open the link fine. I have started seeing this today since firefox was upgraded from v35 to 36. My email client is Mozilla thunderbird at the latest stable version.

The convention for package version is to use the release so instead of 0.10.2-4ubuntu0.2 use 0.10.2-4ubuntu0.14.10.1. With the version numbers that you've used if the Trusty version of the package needs an update that the Utopic version doesn't we'll need to become creative with the version numbers.

[Bug 1425972] Re: Firefox no longer supports -remote parameter
This comment is copied from my entry in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/exo/+bug/1427144 I also had this problem, not only with links in Thunderbird but also in Libreoffice documents, which both opened Firefox at my chosen homepage, not the link URL. I have always changed my Preferred Application setting in XFCE Settings-manager to firefox rather than Debian Sensible Browser which is the default, and this never before caused any problem. With the upgrade to FF36 this seems to have broken. Changing the Preferred Application back to Debian Sensible Browser seems to have fixed this and links are again opening in Firefox to the URL of the clicked link. I have not tested George Shuklin's solution above yet, but will investigate later. (# NB This comment relates to the bug I mention above, not this one so the solution from George is there, not here.)

We also need to fix the icecat and iceweasel helpers. I'm build those now to see how they behave and if any options are needed.
