title: Java, Windows, open firefox
body: <p>I am trying to open up a new tab in firefox (or just a new window) from my java program. I am transferring the code over from Ubuntu to Windows 7. I am doing something like this but it is throwing an exception.</p>
  
  <pre><code>Runtime rt = null;
  ...
  rt =  Runtime.getRuntime();
  ...
  rt.exec("C:\\Program Files\\Mozilla Firefox\\firefox.exe");
  </code></pre>
