[Bug 1035221] Re: xdg-open/gnome-open opens blank firefox

 

I started to see the same behaviour after the last update under Ubuntu
14.04.2 LTS trusty. So far I was unable to fix it with the suggestions
from above.

Title:
  xdg-open/gnome-open opens blank firefox

Status in libgnome package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in xdg-utils package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Both
  xdg-open http://google.com
  and
  gnome-open http://google.com
  result in a new Firefox window, with a single "empty" tab.

  This is not the expected result - I expect the page to open in a new tab/window. Running
  firefox http://google.com
  gives the expected result.

  Whilst I am seeing the bug under quantal (regression from precise) the
  packages xdg-utils and libgnome2-0 are the same version in both cases.

  "/desktop/gnome/url-handlers/http/command" is set in both cases to "firefox %s"
