Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 246166

(Firefox :: Shell Integration, defect)

Description

[Eugene Weinstein]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040615 Firefox/0.9
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040615 Firefox/0.9

When trying to run the following command:

 /usr/local/firefox/firefox  -remote "openurl(http://www.mozilla.org)"

with a version of firefox already running, I get the message

Error: No running window found

I suspect this is becuase it's still looking for Mozilla processes??

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open Firefox
2./usr/local/firefox/firefox  -remote "openurl(http://www.mozilla.org)"

Actual Results:  
Error: No running window found


Expected Results:  
Navigated to http://www.mozilla.org in the already-open Firefox window.
