hey guys, it's been a long time since I posted here. feel's good to be back. anyways here's my question:
how can I config my ~/.gnome/Gnome file so that mozilla opens links in new tabs? I click on links in my emails from evolution, and they're always asking me for a new profile since I already have mozilla up. How can I fix it so that it uses the current session and in tabs? Thanks in advance

there's a prob with that because the first parameter in the openURL has to be an actual URL. I cant put in "openURL(new-tab)" because it gives me a "cant access www.new-tab.com" message. and xfeDoCommand just leaves me with a new blank window.

I don't have an answer to your question, but I can point you to a place where an answer is likely. Configure your news reader to this server:

Here, you'll be able to find NG's of all flavors for mozilla.org.

Get the Tabbed Browser Extension from the mozdev site... you won't regret it!

you can use variables with it.
"openURL($URL,new-tab)"
however, i'm not familiar with the file you are editing.
but on my system, if i used mozilla i'd go in the gnome-control-center to advanced | preferred applications
and set the browser to custom
mozilla --remote "openURL(%s,new-tab)"

$URL gives me a new tab, but still blank =\. For now I think I'll search a bit for another email client

if you use tabbed browsing extension with mozilla you can set up with single window mode... if you have a moz session running links of any kind (including those in email) will open up in tabs... no file editing needed...

you can't just use $URL and assume it will work. if $URL is not defined, then of course it will just open a black tab. you have to use the correct variable. usually if it's another app passing it, it is %s
Not sure if this suits you, but you could just right-click on the link and click "Open In New Tab".
