So I tried to conform to conclusions expressed there :). Since it's necessary to escape the () because of the shell, but the browser won't accept arguments with "", this is tricky. I've used strace to investigate this, to trace my shell script that used to work (that because it used to work for year that I posted to reopen the bug) : $ strace -s 128 -o totolog2 -f sh -c "/usr/lib/iceweasel/firefox-bin -remote 'openurl(http://www.debian.org,new-tab)'" Error: Failed to send command: 500 command not parseable $ grep exec totolog2 5728 execve("/bin/sh", ["sh", "-c", "/usr/lib/iceweasel/firefox-bin -remote 'openurl(http://www.debian.org,new-tab)'"], [/* 57 vars */]) = 0 5728 set_thread_area({entry_number:-1 -> 6, base_addr:0xb7f276b0, limit:1048575, seg_32bit:1, contents:0, read_exec_only:0, limit_in_pages:1, seg_not_present:0, useable:1}) = 0 5729 execve("/usr/lib/iceweasel/firefox-bin", ["/usr/lib/iceweasel/firefox-bin", "-remote", "openurl(http://www.debian.org,new-tab)"], [/* 57 vars */]) = 0 5729 set_thread_area({entry_number:-1 -> 6, base_addr:0xb7d778d0, limit:1048575, seg_32bit:1, contents:0, read_exec_only:0, limit_in_pages:1, seg_not_present:0, useable:1}) = 0 ... 5729 write(2, "Error: Failed to send command: 500 command not parseable\n"..., 57) = 57 ... You see: no " in argument to execve, just the string openurl.... Strange, isn't it ?
