User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows NT 5.0) Build Identifier: Mozilla 1.3 released versin for MacOS X Since there is no Xwindows browser in MacOS X, and I run a lot of Xwindows applications, I use a shell script as follows to pass any url from Xwindows applications to Aqua: #!/bin/sh # url=$1 if [ -f $1 ]; then url="file:///Macintosh%20HD$1" fi command="tell application \"Mozilla\" to openURL \"$url\"" osascript -e "$command" exit Then, for example, I can set this script as the default browser for Xemacs, and when I click on a url in my email, it fires the url to Mozilla running under aqua. Works great in 1.2. However, it broke in the 1.3 series. when I send the url, Mozilla, if not running, launches and opens the home page. If mozilla is running, it comes to the front, but doesn't load the url. As soon as Mozilla runs in XDarwin, I will not need this anymore! ;-) Thanks, I like Mozilla best! Even though it is a little slower, it has many features I can not live without. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. See details 2. 3. Actual Results: See details

David, again see bug 197642, comment 1.

Greg, the bug you reference pertains to file: urls. In general, the getURL is passing http://<host>/<path> urls. My script does detect file urls to translate them from unix/posix to MacOS X, and I gues I have to change that to use ":" separators. But getURL doesn't work for http:, either.

"Mozilla, if not running, launches and opens the home page." is bug 192849 "If mozilla is running, it comes to the front, but doesn't load the url." is this just spill over of bug 197642?

I'm using Mozilla 1.3 final I'm no technical wizard but this is waht I know: I'm using Mac OS 10.1.5, I have Mozilla 1.3 set as my default browser and when I search in Sherlock (or clicking a link in an e-mail from Eudora) and ask Mozilla to open the URL, Mozilla doesn't act properly. Similar to earlier comments, if Mozilla isn't running, it starts up and only shows the start page. As an improvement over past comments though, if Moz is running and a URL is requested, Moz comes forward, opens a new window, and loads the URL requested.

Pat, you're experiencing bug 192849

This bug seems to be wandering.... We had support for OpenURL in at least Mozilla 1.0 (attached screenshot) but scripts using OpenURL don't seem to work now. The dictionary is also busted (bug 184449) so I'm not sure if OpenURL is still expected to be there and is broken or if we lost OpenURL along the way.

Just a note that I am running 1.3b and it works in this version. In 1.3 it is broken.

The following change works for me: command="tell application \"Mozilla\" to open location \"$url\""

This is fixed now.
