Curious what use case you are looking at for over here? I don't want to make any assumptions. I'm wondering if what you are looking for might be covered by the functionality of tab containers.

I wrote a command line tool which tells me "Now look at the following page" and opens it a browser window with the url.

Works with Chrome, but not with Firefox.

Mac or Linux? I think on Mac "open" should Just Work, AFAIK

Linux

xdg-open <URL>

Works for me..

That would open the url in the default browser (Chromium for me) with the current user (root for me).

The task at hand is to open it in firefox with the desktop user.

Just use `--new-window` and it will work just fine :).
