Bug Description
I have used the Preferred Applications dialog to set up a custom browser function, so that I can tell firefox to open the URL in a new tab in a particular profile (I always have two firefox instances open with different profiles):
firefox -P default -remote "openurl(%s, new-tab)"
I can verify this has been set using
gconftool --get /desktop/
However, when I try and open a URL it fails. On investigation, running
gnome-open http://
runs
firefox -P default -remote "openurl(, new-tab)" http://
So basically rather than replacing the %s with the URL, it removes the %s and appends the URL

This seemed to start after the upgrade to Intrepid
