I installed bluefish (been meaning to try it anyway), and had the same
problems. It looks like the default external command line is wrong.
Strange that a product would ship with such an obvious bug. Fortunately,
it's easy to fix.
Change the command line to read this:
/usr/bin/netscape %s
or
/usr/bin/mozilla %s
Make sure you use "netscape" and "mozilla," not "netscape-communicator" or
"mozilla-bin". The first two are shell scripts which see if netscape or
mozilla are already running. The latter are the actual binaries, and
trying to start those directly could cause problems / multiple instances /
other strangeness.
