Xfce and web browsers

[TerryJ]

I ran into an odd problem when I nominated Swiftfox as the preferred 
browser in Xfce.

Whenever I clicked on a link in Thunderbird or the file browser 
(Thunar), which should have opened a new tab in the last active Swiftfox 
window, I was instead getting a new, empty Swiftfox window.

To overcome the problem, I have nominated Mozilla Firefox as the 
preferred browser and altered "firefox" and "mozilla-firefox" in 
/usr/bin so that they refer to swiftfox.

I should add that Xfce renders the swiftfox command as swiftfox "%s"  It 
adds the same strange suffix to thunderbird. Question
