Hello, do you habe firefox installed? Do you have any idea where this "firefox" string is defined? Maybe as manually set browser in "Preferred Applications" in gnome. Maybe you need `/usr/bin/firefox` instead of just `firefox` Michael
jabref seems to be losing the PATH. What I'm getting as the path in the program executed is: /opt/sun-jdk-1.6.0.22/bin:/opt/sun-jdk-1.6.0.22/jre/bin which of course is totally and completely wrong. I'm not sure if some new bonus "security" has been added to sun-jdk, or the interface has changed for Runtime requiring the full PATH to be passed, or...
works in app-text/jabref-2.10_beta2
Since there wasn't any activity on this bug for about 4 years (minus the comment from Jonas) I will close this as won't fix. Please use jabref-2.10_beta2.
