Bug Description
When running the exo-open command with an html filename containing spaces, firefox fails to open the file as it considers that the request is to open two files.
Reproducible by running:
echo '<html>
exo-open 'file name.html'
which results in firefox opening one tab for 'file' and one for 'name.html'. Please note that this also affects the thunar file manager, so that double-clicking on 'file name.txt' again opens two tabs, instead of opening the correct file.
Interestingly, note that this does not happen for e.g. text files, so that
echo 'Test' > 'file name.txt'
exo-open 'file name.txt'
works as expected.
Please note that I have installed the 'Xubuntu desktop' using tasksel, after installing Ubuntu through mini.iso .
