I'm still having trouble passing the URL to $arg in gnome-control-center preferred applications. /path_to_app/mozilla-xremote-client -a firefox "openurl(URL,new-tab)" pulls up URL perfectly from bash. I've tried: /path_to_app/mozilla-xremote-client -a firefox "openurl(%s,new-tab)" which pulls up a blank tab and gets redirected to hoovers.com and escaping the %s with '%s' and "%s" which give me a literal %s as a URL. Any suggestions on how to escape the %s so that it gets interpreted correctly?
