Bug Description

When I highlight an URL (in konversation for exemple), Klipper shows a pop-up asking what I want to do (open with Konqueror, Send URL with Kmail...). But when I choose "Open in Firefox" nothing happens (of course I have Firefox installed). When I look at klipper configuration the "Open in Firefox" entry is : ps x |grep -q '[f]irefox' && firefox -remote openURL(%s, new-window) || firefox %s

Am I alone ?

Thank you.

Kubuntu 8.10
KDE 4.1.3
Klipper 0.9.7

Ok, I've found the solution (with some help ;) ).
Just change "ps x |grep -q '[f]irefox' && firefox -remote openURL(%s, new-window) || firefox %s" by "ps x |grep -q '[f]irefox' && firefox -remote 'openURL(%s, new-window)' || firefox %s" (without the quote).

Changing "new-window" by "new-tab" is also a good idea I think.

---------------
kdebase-workspace (4:4.2.0-0ubuntu4) jaunty; urgency=low

  * Make kde-window-manager conflict/replace on kdebase-workspace-data (<= 4:4.1.4)
    rather than (<= 4.1.4) (LP: #324752)
  * Bump systemsettings' conflicts/replaces version on kdebase-workspace-bin to
    (<< 4:4.1.80) to accomodate KDE 4.1.4 installs
  * Add kubuntu_59_fix_klipper_firefox_actions from openSUSE to fix the "open with
    firefox/mozilla" klipper actions. (LP: #302122)
