Oh, yes, this would be great. The command line is still the best standard for connecting things together. Be it special control keys on my keyboard or automatic playback or library import of externally downloaded/produced files or whatever. This will push sb's integration with other apps further!

I want this too. So I can schedule a task with CRON and launch songbird automatically.

I was having this problem on Vista with UltraEdit opening, was to go into UE and disable file types associated (I use Notepad++ anyways). This worked for me.

As expected I am having the same issue, but whats worst with OS X is Firefox just complains that you are trying to have more then one instance of FF 3 so for me I cant open any link.

that's interesting. i've been having problems with all my air apps opening url's into text editors (coda).

just switched my system default browser from firefox to safari and all's fine now.

I believe this is what's needed to make a Songbird plugin for Breakaway.

A comment on the problem "Links Do Not Open In Twhirl Twitter Client" in Seesmic:

I agree with Zelph, changing .html extensions to be opened in a browser is not a solution as I want my .html files opened in a text editor, but links opened in my default browser. – Gradualist, on August 14, 2008 10:30

I have this problem too, but links open in Mozilla Prism instead of FF.

I understand that the point is the Adobe AIR framework, as I have been recently finding some other issues on it, which makes me think it's not quite finished yet.

The problem is that even though Firefox is NOT set as my default browser, Twhirl is still trying to open it.

When I said other AIR apps were not doing the same thing, I was reporting what I experienced. Last time I've tried navigateToUrl() on an AIR app, the framework was in beta, and it worked like a charm.

Did anyone experience that with AIR 1.0? Or beta/alpha?

Scott,

thanks ;-) I'm not sure if this issue has been solved on Windows with one of the last AIR releases, but originally it was more prominent there than on OS X.

Even the official release notes from Adobe for AIR contained a workaround to solve the issue on Windows.

Anyway, I share everyone's feelings here that this is a really annoying thing, but as you pointed out, it cannot be solved from within twhirl.

Per David Coletta, Adobe Employee:

"Just wanted to say, we are aware of this problem with navigateToURL() in AIR when Firefox/Mac is the default browser, and we are tracking it. To the best of our knowledge it is only a problem on the Mac, not with Firefox for Windows.

I can't promise if or when it will be fixed, but I hope that it's at least some comfort that it's on our list"

After reading around the web, Marco's reply is absolutely right. Many (all?) Adobe AIR apps are experiencing this exact same issue particularly when Firefox is set as the default browser.

This is an Adobe AIR issue, not a Twhirl one, so I would highly suggest that everyone go the this thread and add your voice asking Adobe to fix it: http://getsatisfaction.com/adobe/topi...

Rafael Fonseca, I'd love to hear which Air apps that open links in new tabs.

Most Air apps like the Pownce client, Spaz (another Twitter client) and others all have bugs registered for this behaviour, and they all seem to agree it's Adobes fault (though it looks like it only happens when used with Firefox as the default browser).

It also looks like it's a very old bug, so I can't understand why Adobe can't seem to fix it.

Marco Kaiser replied on July 03, 2008 13:39 to the problem "Links opening in new Firefox Window instead of Tab :-(" in Seesmic:

Well, actually I'd be happy if it would be a problem in twhirl, because then I could solve it!

This problem affects ONLY AIR applications, so if all other (native) apps use another browser, that has nothing to do with this issue.

To give you some technical background about this issue: twhirl is based on Flash and the Flex framework. There is just one way to actually open a URL in an external system browser from these kind of AIR applications. There are no options we could send with the URL that can influence how, where or by which application that URL is captured and opened in the end.

For reference, the call used to do this is navigateToURL().

I would be interested to know which other AIR applications you are using that open a link in another browser?

Rafael,

Same exact thing here. So the problem is not air but Twhirl. Hey Twhirl team, how about a fix now that we know the problem is on your end and not with air?

Rafael Fonseca replied on July 03, 2008 02:29 to the problem "Links opening in new Firefox Window instead of Tab :-(" in Seesmic:

Interestingly enough, Twhirl is the ONLY application that is trying to open Firefox.app instead of my system default one (Minefield.app - Leopard-optimized version of FF3), so I think it is something within Twhirl.

Furthermore, my other AIR apps DO open a tab in Minefield, as they should.
