1913650 - Provide an explicit flag for the URI in the CLI.

Status: NEW

(Firefox :: Headless, enhancement, P3)

Description

[Mr. Beedell, Roke Julian Lockhart (RJLB)]

Current Behaviour

Currently, unless using one of the few flags which take a URI (--new-window, --new-tab, and --private-window) what's considered to be the URI provided to the binary is based upon its position:

1. man firefox
   

2. SYNOPSIS
          firefox [OPTIONS ...] [URL]
          firefox-bin [OPTIONS] [URL]
   

This isn't ideal, because it means that the syntax differs greatly between flags.

Desired Behaviour

Instead, I suggest that there be a --uri flag, which takes a string as its value. This would allow me to explicitly and consistently define what URI to invoke.
