www-client/mozilla-firefox-2.0.0.12 does not handle the combination of -remote 'openURL(...)' and -raise/-noraise correctly. With -[no]raise, an extra, blank Firefox window is created, in addition to opening the URL in the most recently used window. With www-client/mozilla-firefox-bin-2.0.0.12, this does not happen. Similar behavior happens when combining -[no]raise with a plain URL argument, e.g.: firefox -raise http://bugs.gentoo.org/ In this case, the -bin version displays the URL in the new window, which appears to be an upstream bug that happens to overlap this one. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open a Firefox window. 2. You may need to set new pages to be opened in a new tab, in the preferences. 3. Run the command: firefox -raise -remote 'openURL(http://bugs.gentoo.org/)' Actual Results: The URL is opened in a new tab, but an extra, blank window is created. Expected Results: The URL is opened in a new tab, and no extra window is created. This method of opening a URL in Firefox is used by Python's webbrowser module.
This is still present in 2.0.0.16, but fixed in 3.0.1.
We can't support firefox-2* except for security fixes. => marking FIXED.
