Description Florian E.J. Fruth 2009-06-06 12:46:14 UTC

Version:           1.11.4 (using 4.2.4 (KDE 4.2.4), Debian packages)
Compiler:          cc
OS:                Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.27.11

KMail opens URLs twice in Iceweasel if I click on a URL inside an email. It doesn't matter if Iceweasel is already running or not. I always get two tabs with the same URL (the one from the email). The Problem is that KMail sends the same URL twice - e.g. in my case if I click on the URL http://bugs.kde.org it uses the following cmdline to call iceweasel:

iceweasel http://bugs.kde.org http://bugs.kde.org

In systemsettings / Default applications / Web browser, what did you enter ?

"firefox %u" - and that was the problem... I changed this to "firefox" and it seams to work. I used %u because initially I tried to use:

firefox "openURL(%u,new-tab)"

to make sure that all URLs open in new tabs instead of windows. It might be better to let the user decide which cmdline to use with the browser for such cases but as I said at the moment I'm happy with this solution.
