Cannot start firefox in linux with @app/Firefox/ command #25

Closed jrichter closed 9 years ago

jrichter commented 11 years ago

I cannot start firefox with the @app/Firefox/ command.

I believe the launcher only works for Mac apps. I created a directory called Applications under my home dir and hacked the app.rb file to see it. Then I created a sh script that launches firefox when called. I named it Firefox.app in the Applications folder I created. This does launch firefox, but it blocks and freezes emacs.

Also, when a firefox instance is already running it seems xiki cannot connect to it on linux.

I am using arch linux.

Yeah, @app hasn't been adapted for other apps beyond the mac yet.

But, @app is only for convenience. You can launch firefox normally and it should work fine. You just need to install the firefox mozrepl plugin, so Xiki can talk to it. I think it suggests that when you try to run it the first time.
