Although the docs found on http://www.mozilla.org/unix/remote.html show it with spaces. eg: openURL (URL, new-window) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.start mozilla-firebird 2.$mozilla-firebird -remote "openUrl(www.mozilla.org, new-window)" 3. Actual Results: $ mozilla-firebird -remote "openUrl(www.mozilla.org, new-window)" Failed to send command. Expected Results: Issues the remote command, in this case open a new firebird window to http://www.mozilla.org. Should fix the docs probably...

With Mozilla (not Firebird) under Linux/PPC, openURL doesn't work at all (whether there is an attribute or not, the space doesn't matter). Is this the same bug (in which case the summary should be changed and the hardware should be set to all) or should I fill another bug report?

Since I recompiled a new Mozilla version (1.6a, 2003-10-19), I no longer get this problem.
$ cat mozilla-newtab ps x |grep -q "[mM]ozilla" && mozilla -remote "openURL($*,new-tab)" || mozilla $* & This has always worked perfectly for me and my mozilla.
It works fine for me with or without the space. Several others have said the same thing, so probably somebody fixed this recently. Marking WFM; open it back up if you're still seeing this.
