Bug#501363: Subject: iceweasel: cannot run iceweasel from command line within script

[Bostjan Vilfan]

Followup-For: Bug #501363
Package: iceweasel


Dear Maintainer,
*** Please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?
      I wanted to open three URLs in iceweasel in separate tabs.
      so I wrote a script with the following contents:

     iceweasel URL-1
     iceweasel -new-tab URL-2
     iceweasel -new-tab URL-3

    When I ran the script, only URL-1 got opened
  * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

     The described action did not achieve my purpose; however, an
     alternative did work:

     1. open iceweasel manually (via internet menu)
     2. run script

     iceweasel -new-tab URL-1
     iceweasel -new-tab URL-2
     iceweasel -new-tab URL-3

   * What was the outcome of this action?
     The first alternative did not work. The second did. However, the
     second alternative is less desirable since it involves an extra
     "manual" step
   * What outcome did you expect instead?
