User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040615 Firefox/0.9 Build Identifier: version 0.7 (20040615) Since upgrading from 0.6 to 0.7 the App seems to not listen to mozilla-xremote-client anymore with the "-a thunderbird" switch set. It does listen to mozilla-xremote-client with the "-a any" switch set, but this causes problems when other Mozilla apps (like Firefox) are running: /usr/local/thunderbird_0.7/mozilla-xremote-client -a thunderbird mailto\(me@home.com\) /usr/local/thunderbird_0.7/mozilla-xremote-client: Error: Failed to find a running server. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start Thunderbird 2. run 'mozilla-xremote-client -a thunderbird mailto\(eml@addr.com\)' Actual Results: Error: Failed to send command: 509 internal error Expected Results: Open a new mail-compose window This worked fine with Thunderbird 0.6

These other 2 mentioned bug-reports deal with Firefox 0.8+, my issue is with thunderbird 0.7 (the new one) and the "mozilla-xremote-client" app that's distributed with it. With Firefox I have no problems with the "mozilla-x-remote-client" app.

Please note this bug is related to <b>Thunderbird</b> not <i>Firefox</i>.

Workaround: Unaware that the Thunderbird app also supported the -remote switch I filed this bugreport about Thunderbird and mozilla-xremote-client. As it seems when Thunderbird is directly invoked with the -remote switch functionality is as expected. Please advice if we need this bug report or if it should be closed.

Seen in Aviary branch Thunderbird (nightly build 20040730) as well. This causes the new GNOME integration in bug 252056 to fail: the generated command line is ${thunderbird_home}/thunderbird "mailto:user@example.com" which attempts to start a new instance of Thunderbird because the ping() done by the thunderbird script fails. The -remote workaround suggested in comment 4 doesn't work in this build either.

I'm using the latest 0.8 Linux builds, and this has been driving me crazy for several weeks, because there's no way to get mailto: links to work in other apps. (Why do I get the sense that nobody cares when Thunderbird is horribly broken on Linux?) Can someone confirm this, at least?
