Firefox openURL : OSX Command Line
16,803
Solution 1
open -a Firefox 'http://www.youtube.com/'
Solution 2
If firefox is your default browser you can simply use: open 'http://www.youtube.com'
Solution 3
Maybe you can append two aliases, edit ~/.bash_profile, append code below:
open_by_browser(){ open -a $1 $2}
alias firefox='open_by_browser firefox'
alias chrome='open_by_browser "Google Chrome"'
then you can open html file by Firefox
firefox xxx.html
or by Chrome
chrome xxx.html

I want to open a Firefox browser from the command line and have it go to youtube.com
I have tried: open /Applications/Firefox.app --args -remote "openURL(www.youtube.com, new-tab)"
It successfully opens a Firefox, but does not navigate to youtube.com
Question:
How do I fix this?
