Subject: win32 Gnu Emacs 23.1: browse-url launches Firefox with 2 tabs with same link
Date: Tue, 04 Aug 2009 21:50:32 +0530

I had already reported this bug vide

http://groups.google.com/group/gnu.emacs.bug/msg/c2ed5a0bdd3f6d74

I currently have this in my .gnus.el and it opens 2 tabs in FF for the
same link.

(setq browse-url-firefox-program "C:/Program Files/Mozilla Firefox/firefox.exe")

(setq browse-url-browser-function 'browse-url-firefox
          browse-url-new-window-flag nil
          browse-url-firefox-new-window-is-tab t)

Is there a workaround for this?
