Sebastian,

For what it's worth, I added a '-url' argument to both the Firefox and Opera
<exec> tasks and all three <exec> tasks now work. (I also noticed that if I
added the '-url' argument to the IE task, it DIDN'T work.)

I've never heard of the '-url' flag before and it doesn't seem to be
necessary when executing the command on the command line but it helps a
great deal when executing from an Ant <exec> task.

Thanks for suggesting it! This really solved my problem.

Rhino
