mozilla annoyances

I'm running the new rc3 version of mozilla and here is my problem.

 

When I have a navigator winodw open, and try to run the mail app from another icon on my desktop, it pops the mozilla profile manager. how can I get it to stop doing this and just give me my damn mozilla mail?

 

:evilmod:

i know there's an answer to this, and it has something to do with the fact that mozilla won't let you use one profile for two sessions (which I never understood) but I can't remember how to turn it off....did you take a peak in the options related to the profile manager and see if there was anything in there that might do it?

 

there was a previous thread related to this, but i can't seem to pinpoint it. :?

Sorry, but I can't help but ask......if you have a navigator window open, why are you using an icon on the desktop instead of the icon in the components bar?....this would at least solve the plob....if it's to run it in another virtual desktop, then click the icon and quickly go to the desired desktop. :?: :?: :?: :)

an honest question. actually, the icon I'm clicking is the mailwatch thingy in gkrellm. I need to click it so it resets the remote message count. but it also tries to open the app.

bvc, I know I can set it like that, but I like it to also open up my mail application at the same time. Moz 1.3 never did this, and I am just looking for the way to get my old functionality back.

This is the function that contains that. Its at the end, but part of something else. when I replace this, I get errors:

 

Code:

# If you are not using ddd, gdb and know of a way to convey the arguments

# over to the prog then add that here- Gagan Saksena 03/15/00

       case `basename $debugger` in

           gdb) echo "$debugger $prog -x /tmp/mozargs$$"

               $debugger "$prog" -x /tmp/mozargs$$

     exitcode=$?

              ;;

           ddd) echo "$debugger --debugger "gdb -x /tmp/mozargs$$" $prog"

               $debugger --debugger "gdb -x /tmp/mozargs$$" "$prog"

     exitcode=$?

              ;;

           *) echo "$debugger $prog ${1+"$@"}"

               $debugger "$prog" ${1+"$@"}

     exitcode=$?

              ;;

       esac

       /bin/rm /tmp/mozargs$$

   else

       echo "Could not find a debugger on your system."

   fi

}

Indeed, this is not the right place in the file to do the replacement.

Can you tell me what is for you the result of commands like those:

bash-2.05b$ which mozilla

/usr/bin/mozilla

bash-2.05b$ ls -l /usr/bin/mozilla

-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root         6379 mar 14 00:49 /usr/bin/mozilla*

If the result if a file, can you send it to me? If it is a link, send the pointed to file instead (of course), and give me the name of the pointed to file.

 

Yves.

I get this:

 

[pwolfe1@Source pwolfe1]$ which mozilla

which: no mozilla in (/usr//bin:/bin:/usr/bin::/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/games:/home/pwolfe1/bin)

[pwolfe1@Source pwolfe1]$

 

but that is because i have mozilla installed to /opt

ezroller, try this and see if it works for you --- see if you can execute this from your icon or rather, gkrellm:

 

 if `mozilla -remote "ping()"`; then mozilla -remote "xfeDoCommand(openInbox)"; else mozilla -mail; fi

 

The same thing should work for a browser (I've thrown Google in, just for an address):

 

if `mozilla -remote "ping()"`; then mozilla -remote "openurl(www.google.com,new-window)"; else mozilla; fi
