Rep:
mozilla question
I installed Mozilla 1.5 a few days and I'm having a little trouble. everytime I go to open another browser window I get this annoying box asking me to create or select a profile. How do I keep this from happening?
that's because you're not really just opening a new browser, you're opening up a new instance of mozilla. if i had to guess, you've got mozilla open and you then clicked the mozilla icon on your desktop. if you want to open up a new browser window without having to make profiles, type on your keyboard ctrl+n or to open a new tab, ctrl+t. if you want to insist on opening a new instance of mozilla, there's some kind of lock file that you can delete. look in ~/.mozilla or /tmp or somewhere. search this forum too, this topic has been covered.
The lockfile is not meant to be deleted it will be deleted when you close mozilla it is designed to stop your profile being written to by 2 proccesses.
