DetailsSteps to reproduce: Set Firefox as standard browser. Run "xdg-open www.some-url.de". A new empty Firefox window opens. The bug has been reported upstream: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1138161 It is not a bug in Firefox but a compatibility loss in the new Firefox versions. The firefox.desktop files need to be edited by removing the "-remote" option to avoid the problem. Further details in the upstream bug report. |

Furthermore, Firefox 36.0.1 has restored the -remote switch.
Please note that if you're using a downstream distro, you'd need to report issues on their bug tracker and not Arch's.
