#
# Used to open URLs in Mozilla, using Mozillas 'remote' function
# (see [url]http://www.mozilla.org/unix/remote.html[/url]) to avoid opening
# new browser windows all over the place. Default is to open the
# requested site in a new tab. Configuration can be done via
# environment variables.
#
# Recognized environment variables:
#  - VURL_MOZILLA
#    Your mozilla binary. Defaults to 'mozilla'
#  - VURL_HOME
#    Your homepage. Defaults to 'www.linux.org'. This page is
#    opened if this script is called without parameters
#  - VURL_OPENMODE
#    Method of opening the URL.
#      "new-tab" - opens URL in a new tab (default)
#      "new-window" - opens URL in a new window
#      "current" - opens URL in the current window
#
