Description Hunter Peress 2002-11-14 18:13:08 UTC 
using 1.4.0.5

This works as a URL handler:

mozilla "%s"

This doesn't:
mozilla -remote openURL( %s ,new-tab)

which leads me to suspect u're using the shell.

This gets closer:
mozilla -remote 'openURL(%s ,new-tab)'

BUT still fails. Mozilla tells me "can't open www.%s.com"

Fix please in 1.4
