Re: Firefox 0.9 remote control

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?
