Hi all,

I found, like many others, that the remote control of firefox has
changed from 0.8 to 0.9.  They actually changed the remote control
functionality, so that existing scripts used to invoke a new window on
an existing firefox process no longer work.

The answer is to use the supplied mozilla-xremote-client command, and to
add the -a firefox argument.

As an example, the command now looks like this....

mozilla-xremote-client -a firefox "openurl($arg,new-window)"

Hope this helps,

Paul
