Description:
My web browser should *not* open my home directory when launched from a Gnome keyboard shortcut. This seems to be a problem in gnome, since: -firefox doesn't open my home directory when launched from the command line -My preferred web browser in Gnome is set to '/usr/lib/firefox-3.0/firefox "%s"', which seems to be right. My guess is that for some reason gnome thinks it's cool to pass firefox the url "file:///home/login" when you launch it from a keyboard shortcut. Of course this behavior is not configurable. I suppose this might be a bug upstream, but since I haven't experienced this on other distros, I'm reporting it here. Additional info: Name : gnome-desktop Version : 2.22.3-1 Steps to reproduce: 1) Launch firefox from keyboard shortcut in gnome 2) Watch unwanted "home directory" listing. |

Edit:
correction, launching '/usr/lib/firefox-3.0/firefox ""' directly instead of using /usr/bin/firefox will display the homedir.
