Hi,

I'm trying to launch a website url in a new tab using python in that way, but it didn't worked in these both ways:

Method 1:

os.system('C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\Firefox.exe -new-tab http://www.google.com/');

and Method 2:

os.startfile('C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\Firefox.exe -new-tab http://www.google.com/');

If I don't add the parameters (-new-tab http://www.google.com/) it works, opening the default page.
