Description bazurbat 2008-03-27 21:35:27 UTC
Giving firefox a list of URLs with spaces in them by command-line or selecting and opening several files in konqueror fails due to truncation of given URLs after first whitespace. This is not happening with no firefox running and giving only one URL.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select several html files with names containing spaces in konqueror
2. Select "Open with Firefox"
----
1. cd to dir containing several html files with names with spaces
2. run: firefox '<long file name>.html' '<another file>.html', replacing text between <> with actual filenames

Actual Results:  
Firefox displays "Error loading page" with URL truncated. Ex. given "file:///some file.html" will try to display "file:///some"

Expected Results:  
All URLs loaded properly

Fixes quoting issue of URLs and extending sleep time if no instances are running

* fixes quoting issue of URLs
* extending sleep time to 2 seconds if no mozilla instances are running before opening additional URLs

mozilla-launcher ebuild for the patch

I get the same problem with mc. The URL get trunvated at the first space in the "path/filename". This patch solve this problem.
