Hi,
os.startfile('http://www.python.org') works fine on WinXP with IE as
default webbrowser. With Mozilla Firefox 0.9 as default webbrowser,
however, I get an error. Firefox starts, the page gets loaded and then
Python gives me an error message (Traceback below). The same is true
for the webbowser module. Is this a Python problem or a Firefox
problem?
Matthias import os os.startfile('http://www.python.org')

I hate to say but it worked for me using Opera as my default browser
on Windows 2000 but fails with Firefox so I guess it's a Firefox thing...
FYI webbrowser just calls os.startfile on windows hence the same error

I have the same issue with FF 0.9.1 (can't really say if I had the same
problem with prior versions - maybe I didn't notice) as default browser on
XP Prof. Not only when starting a url from Python, but also from other
programs, yes: even when double clicking a *.url. FF loads the page just
fine, but the "invoking program" always returns an error message.
