[issue7192] webbrowser.get("firefox") does not work on Mac with installed Firefox

[Ronald Oussoren]

Ronald Oussoren <ronaldoussoren at mac.com> added the comment:

Firefox doesn't seem to support a full scripting api, which makes opening tabs and windows harder.

I've committed an alternate version of your patch in r80698: This uses osascript to open the url instead of the open command. I've also added a registration for "safari".

The main reason to use osascript instead of just open is that it might be possible to add support for opening new tabs or windows later on by adjusting the script.

resolution:  -> fixed
