It would be very nice if Firefox could support all the features and maybe more. Here you can find full spec: http://www.graphcomp.com/info/specs/nets/ddeapi.html Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Try to open link in new window using external application (3rd parameter to WWW_OpenURL = 0). Actual Results: It always uses default settings. Expected Results: It should open link in new window.

Do you plan to add some API for other applications to communicate with the browser? For example to open links in new window/new tab, etc. Anything to cover functionality of spyglass? Or maybe there is already something like that?
