Hi,

I'm trying to load the termial.app and do a ping request. Here is the add-on https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ipprotocols/. This is what I have setup so far, "open -a /Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app", but upon calling the addon/command I receive a javascript error indicating the path is wrong. What is the correct way to call up a terminal prompt?

Regards,

You are going all around Job's barn just to do a ping request. Clicking on the Terminal application in the Dock would be ever so much faster. Assuming that your post is not a very lame attempt at SPAM, my guess is that you don't need the open -a command. The command is issued by the addon. All you need to do is to give the addon the path of the application that you want to use to execute your ping request. In your case, that is /Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app.
