browse-url-mozilla in new tab

[Jarle Thorsen]

I have set:

(setq browse-url-browser-function 'browse-url-mozilla)

But this starts a new mozilla session each time I try to open a link.
Anybody have an idea of how to have it open a new tab in the mozilla window
that is already running ?

According to mozilla.org:

mozilla -remote "openurl(<URL>, new-tab)" should do the trick, but my LISP
knowledge is not good enough to implent this....

See the variable browse-url-new-window-flag or browse-url-new-window-p.

Seconded - but it appears to have problems with local files html files
browse-url-of-file appears to get confused, 
I get file ......,new_tab cannot be found?

maybe there ought to be a
check for the presence of http:// ?

I suspect I'll be upgrading rather soon - worth it for that alone!

Thank you!
