31165 - Unable to specify URLs at the command line when using /console switch

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 40481

(SeaMonkey :: UI Design, defect, P3)

Description

[Crysgem]

Mozilla Build ID: 2000030808

Even if the syntax specified by Mozilla at the console,
"Usage: apprunner <url>
         <url>: a fully defined url string like http:// etc.."
is followed, one cannot instruct the beast to both load a specific URL at 
start-up AND generate a console, regardless of the order of the switches.
(The application "Apprunner" is now defunct - perhaps someone should alter this 
code)

In other words, if I enter "Mozilla http://slashdot.org/ /console" or even 
"Mozilla /console http://slashdot.org/", both desired results are not returned.

I beg pardons for assigning this flaw to Browser-General; but there was no 
"Gatekeeper" category.

confirming and moving to XP Apps (For bugs in Mozilla's cross-platform,
cross-application application framework that lack a more suitable component. XP
Apps includes such broad areas as command line parameter handling (e.g. mozilla
-ProfileManager), and dialog infrastructure, as well as features including View
Page Source & View Page Info, Find on Page and Open Web Location. )
