|
| (setq browse-url-browser-function 'browse-url-firefox)
| (setq browse-url-firefox-program
"/Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox")
|

I run emacs 23, so I am not sure this is in emacs 22, but I think it's
likely, in which case something like this works for me:
(defun browse-url-firefox-on-mac (url &rest ignored)
(do-applescript
(format "tell application \"Firefox\" to Get URL \"%s\"" url)))
(setq browse-url-browser-function 'browse-url-firefox-on-mac)
Not sure what to do with any extra arguments.
