  1. Re:Broken `-remote' for Linux users? on Mozilla Project Officially Releases Firefox 0.9 · · Score: 3, Informative

    Found a solution via Firefox Forums.

    Now, firefox -remote 'ping()' should be firefox -a firefox -remote 'ping()'. Also, firefox -remote 'openURL(http://slashdot.org/, new-tab)' should be firefox -a firefox -remote 'openURL(http://slashdot.org/, new-tab)'. Etc.

  2. Broken `-remote' for Linux users? on Mozilla Project Officially Releases Firefox 0.9 · · Score: 2, Interesting
    Have any other Linux users found the `-remote' argument to be broken in Firefox 0.9?
    % firefox -remote 'ping()'
    Error: No running window found

    % firefox -remote 'openURL(http://slashdot.org/, new-tab)'
    Error: No running window found
  3. Bash versions with bugs on A Real Bourne Shell for Linux? · · Score: 1

    I know from experience that (some?) 1.x Bash versions have a bug in the getopt builtin. The bug seems to be fixed in 2.x versions (not sure what version fixed it). There is a workaround for the bug, but it breaks portability of the script. The workaround also causes the script to break for fixed versions of Bash.
