Thanks Scott.
I'm going to try to use Mozilla Firebird instead, which doesn't have this
problem, and is faster at browsing anyways. Although instead of just
exec'ing the MozillaFirebird program again you have to do a remote
command, like you mentioned for normal Mozilla. This is because running
the MozillaFirebird program again will say you can't run it because the
default profile is in use, and makes you pick a different one. How
annoying.
I use this remote command, which opens up a new blank window:
MozillaFirebird -remote "xfeDoCommand(openBrowser)"
And I use this script to launch Mozilla from an Fvwm menu: (Credits to
Scott for providing the original script that I modified to suit my needs.
I'd forgotten all about the usefulness of the Shell Perl module!)
#!/usr/bin/perl
use Shell;
my $run = qq{/path/to/MozillaFirebird/MozillaFirebird};
# Is mozilla running?
my $is_running = pidof("MozillaFirebird-bin");
chomp($is_running);
if($is_running){
# Mozilla is running....
$run .= qq{ -remote "xfeDoCommand(openBrowser)"};
}
exec("$run&");
