multiple mozilla windows

hApy · 2003-04-29 18:12:48

I find it really annoying that every time I want to start a new mozilla window, running it from my taskbar makes it whine at me that the current profile is in use. Normally, I'm using multiple desktops and I was using konqueror and I'd just open up a new one. Why doesn't mozilla realize that's all I want. it's freaking annoying to have to go to another desktop, create a new window, then move it to the desktop I wanted it on in the first place.

Hapy.

Download the program called MSS (http://kingant.net/?p=mss)
this is a little startup wrapper for mozilla which allowes you to open more windows (spawned from the main proces)

Features:
* If a new Mozilla is requested when there is already a running Mozilla, the script just tells the currently running Mozilla to open a new window.
* Viewing local html files is easier (you can type "mozilla ./homepage.html" rather than "mozilla file:///home/mark/homepage.html").
* -remote commands will work when there is currently no Mozilla running. the only -remote command implemented in Mozilla as of now is "openURL"
* Can be installed system wide. If a user has a "~/Mozilla" directory (if they are testing a nightly build, for example), then it will run that Mozilla rather than the system wide Mozilla.

why doesn't someone make a package for that?

really I think it might as well be included in the mozilla package, it's just a tiny 8k script.

you could easily recompile a gtk1 version. in /usr/abs/network/mozilla/mozconfig change this line:

ac_add_options --enable-default-toolkit=gtk2

to:

ac_add_options --enable-default-toolkit=gtk

and recompile. you only need to install the resulting mozilla package and not the include and lib packages.
