Browser specific commands
Opera
- To make links open in a new tab use:
opera -newpage
- To make links open in a new window:
opera -newwindow
For a full list of command parameters refer to opera --help
Firefox & Mozilla
Firefox & Mozilla use a remote control script that will send commands to an already existing process.
- To make links open in a new tab use:
firefox -remote "openURL(%u,new-tab)"
- To make links open in a new window use:
firefox -remote "openURL(%u,new-window)"
Of course, if you use Mozilla instead of Firefox, you need to substitute firefox with mozilla in the above command.
See remote control of unix mozilla for more information.
