mozilla problem

Ha1f · 12-08-2005, 09:31 PM

im running arch linux and m having a problem with mozilla opening multiple instances. my wm is fluxbox, and in teh menu, the mozilla entry is

[exec] (mozilla) {mozilla}

if i click mozilla on my menu while another nstance of it is already open, i get the profile selction box. I want this to stop because i can only have one browser window open at one. am i missing something on the mozilla command?

Since you already have Mozilla opened.. why don't you just click ctrl-N or ctrl-T for a new windows or new tab?

You can use the following command to start mozilla so that it's always opens a new window:

Code:

mozilla -remote "xfeDoCommand(openBrowser)"

For more details take a look here

AFAIK, It's a 'feature' of mozilla. I've had it the same on three windows installs and four linux ones. FF doesn't seem to have the same problem.
