107429 - OpenUrl() should support tabbed windows

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 116653

(Core Graveyard :: Cmd-line Features, enhancement)

Description

[Kamil Toman]

-remote OpenURL() is heavily used by various scripts (or accelerator key
assignments) to show web pages in mozilla. It would be nice if one could specify
even OpenURL(uri,new-tabbed-window).

Over to blizzard who does xremote

Comment 2

[Christopher Blizzard (:blizzard)]

hyatt, how do I open a new tab from C++ and get the content area for it?

Comment 3

[Kamil Toman]

I do really think this should be a part of mozilla 1.0. Without this it's
impossible to use tabbed windows from other programs. Any chance?

Comment 4

[Jonas Linde]

This bug appears to be fixed in Mozilla 1.1a+ 2002062708;
  mozilla-bin -remote "openurl(http://www.mozilla.org,new-tab)"
does indeed open a new tab.
