Package: firefox
Version: 1.4.99+1.5rc3.dfsg-2
Severity: normal

When I have gaim set to open URL's with firefox in a *new tab* and the 
URL contains commas, such as 
http://www.wired.com/news/politics/0,1283,69773,00.html
firefox attempts to open http://www.wired.com/news/politics/0 ie 
ignoring from the first comma onwards.

Workaround(s) firefox called from the command line, or from gaim to open 
the URL using the browser default (which I have set in firefox to open 
in a new tab) works.

It appears that the parsing of the firefox command line when there is 
the "open in a new tab" option messes up URL's containing commas.

Regards,

Arthur.
