Description Richard Li 2008-04-16 13:31:11 UTC
The mozilla-launcher handles arguments with spaces incorrectly when firefox is already running

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start a firefox session
2. Create an file with a space in its name, e.g. "/tmp/a b.html"
3. Enter the command in bash: "firefox /tmp/a\ b.html"

Actual Results:  
Firefox complains it cannot find the file "file:///tmp/a"


I checked the mozilla-launcher script, and find a pair of quotes is missing.
