A while back, I discovered that mozilla-launcher is causing problems, when the URL contains a "," (comma); eg. http://www.spiegel.de/wirtschaft/0,1518,447923,00.html In Knode/KDE, I configured, that firefox is to be used as the browser, so that when I click on a URL, it's loaded in firefox. I did this by modifying .kde/share/config/kdeglobals and adding/changing: [General] BrowserApplication=!/usr/bin/firefox That can also somehow be done with kcontrol. This works well - when I click on a URL, /usr/bin/firefox is run with one parameter, which is the URL. But if the URL contains a comma (like the example URL further up), that site isn't correctly loaded. Instead of http://www.spiegel.de/wirtschaft/0,1518,447923,00.html it would load http://www.spiegel.de/wirtschaft/0,1518,447923. Reason is, that firefox executes mozilla-launcher which will eventually run "mozilla-xremote-client openURL($u)". The problem with that is, that openURL accepts two parameters and they are seperated with a ,. So it sees two parameters: http://www.spiegel.de/wirtschaft/0,1518,447923 and 00.html - 00.html is not a valid parameter, though. It should be something like new-window. When I use the "original" Firefox from mozilla.com, there's no such problem. That is so, because the original firefox script doesn't use openURL anymore. I now changed the /usr/bin/firefox script so, that it doesn't use mozilla-launcher anymore. Up to now, I can't find any problems. What problems did I overlook? And what's actually the use of mozilla-launcher with current firefoxes? What would break, if mozilla-launcher is no longer used? Cf. https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=150404 Or should I take this thread and purpose (ie. dump mozilla-launcher for at least firefox) to the dev list?
