[CLUE-Tech] Ximian busted my browser...

[Match Grun]

David,

Try getting to Mozilla as follows:

	gnome-moz-remote --newwin %s

Where $s is the name of the URL, if any.

ALso, I checked my desktop link file. Look in the directory .gnome-desktop  My file contained:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<nautilus_object nautilus_link="Generic Link"
custom_icon="file:///usr/share/pixmaps/mozilla-star.png"
link="command:mozilla"/>

Hope that helps.

Match
