The -remote option has existed essentially forever, but its usefulness is questionable: - It requires a running instance to be any useful, so any script actually using it should first do -remote 'ping()' and handle the response properly. - It is not cross-application. The remote service dispatches the -remote commands to the command line handler, and, for example, desktop b2g builds don't have handlers for -remote (although thunderbird and seamonkey do). - It is not a cross-platform option, which leads to the following point: - There are other command line ways to do the same thing (at least in Firefox), without having to jump through hoops with -remote 'ping()', because there are command line options to do those same things on non-X11 platforms. For the latter, in Firefox case: - -remote 'openURL(url)' can be replaced with firefox url - -remote 'openURL(url,new-tab)' can be replaced with firefox -new-tab url - -remote 'openURL(url,new-window)' can be replaced with firefox -new-window url - -remote 'openfile(file,...)' is the same as -remote 'openurl(file,...) so, can be replaced as above - -remote 'xfedocommand(openbrowser)' is inherited from the mozilla suite and doesn't make much sense, but can be replaced with firefox -new-window The interesting part is that without changing nsBrowserContentHandler.js, -remote still works, meaning that if people really feel strongly about -remote, they'll still be able to write an addon to bring it back. This also means this patch actually doesn't remove -remote for applications other than Firefox that do support it, although -remote 'ping()' doesn't work as expected. However, other -remote commands will now work even without a running instance. |
