/usr/bin/firefox won't work

[John Meyer-4]

I'm starting out in Netbeans and when I set the browser to Firefox,
netbeans comes back with a "cannot execute /usr/bin/firefox" complaint.
I know it's probably already been answered on the site, and if I find it
first I'll let you know, but any help would be appreciated.


Firefox 2.0.0.4
OpenSuse 10.2
Netbeans 5.5.1

line  /usr/bin/firefox ?

John,

Assuming /usr/bin/firefox does start firefox (it does for me on OpenSuSE
10.2), what argument list is specified in
Tools->Options-> Advanced Options-> IDE Configuration->
 Server and External Tool Settings-> Web Browsers-> Firefox
entry?

It had -remote "openURL{{URL}}"
Trimmed it to {URL} and it worked just fine.

Oh yeah, thanks for pointing that out.  Now, is the -remote command
depreciated or something in Firefox

It should be -remote "openURL({URL})"

I don't know if I was quoting that right, but the way I had worked.
