For me too, with maverick it opens a new Firefox window instead of a new tab (as set in the Firefox preferences). The option in preferred applications was on "Open the link with the the default web browser". Tested applications : Software-center, Transmission, and Openoffice.org
An exception : Firefox open a new tab as set in its option : well done! To have the links opened in a new tab for the other applications, I have to choose "Open the link in a new tab" in the preferred applications windows. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/548407 Title: "get help online" doesn't use default browser-options -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
