Mozilla: no damn profile manager!

Sinope · 09-09-2004, 06:00 PM

I use Mozilla. I just think it's better than Konqueror. Or maybe I'm just more used to it. Whatever.

My big pet peeve, though, is that when I click the Mozilla button on my desktop and if I happen to have a browser window open on some other virtual desktop, this annoying "profile manager" pops up and tells me that the default profile is in use. What the hell!! Just open a new freaking window!

Does anyone know how to change this?

The only way I can think of is to run a script that checks if Mozilla is already open, and if so, sends some signal to open a new window rather than trying to run the program. I have no idea how to go about writing that, though, especially since Mozilla doesn't have DCOP commands as far as I know....

use this script to open mozilla and you'll be fine...

Code:

#!/bin/sh
mozilla -remote "ping()" &> /dev/null
if [ $? == "0" ]; then
exec mozilla -remote "openURL(about:blank,new-window)" &
else
exec mozilla &
fi
