Assuming /usr/bin/firefox does start firefox (it does for me on
OpenSuSE
10.2), what argument list is specified in
Tools->Options-> Advanced Options-> IDE Configuration->
Server and External Tool Settings-> Web Browsers-> Firefox
entry?
It had -remote "openURL{{URL}}"
Trimmed it to {URL} and it worked just fine.
It should be -remote "openURL({URL})"

Well, in the Tools/Options/General dialog box Firefox is selected, and
'/usr/bin/firefox' exists on the file system and is executable.
This is not an auspicious beginning.
How do I fix this problem?
This has cropped up recently. The problem in other cases has been with
the argument to /usr/bin/firefox. This can be checked at Tools ->
Options -> Advanced Options -> IDE Configuration -> Server and External
Tool Settings -> Web Browsers
I have "-new-window {URL}" as the argument.
