I did notice that, and tried it both ways. No difference. |

Yes and No! I've solved the problem, but this is weird; really really |
21 |
weird. Let me explain. I use ICEWM window manager. For the firefox |
22 |
launchbar command I have always used... |
23 |
|
24 |
/usr/bin/firefox -width 950 -height 1050 -P default -no-remote |
25 |
|
26 |
and manually opened new windows with {CTRL-N}. Urlview was always able |
27 |
to lauch a new window. But now if one firefox window is opened with |
28 |
"-no-remote", I can *NOT* programatically open any more new Firefox |
29 |
windows. That includes urlview and your commandline example *EVEN IF I |
30 |
USE "-new-window" TO OPEN ADDITIONAL WINDOWS*. Only the manual {CTRL-N} |
31 |
command works. |
32 |
|
33 |
After some trial and error, I changed ICEWM's launchbar command to |
34 |
|
35 |
/usr/bin/firefox -width 950 -height 1050 -P default -new-window |
36 |
|
37 |
Now I can open new windows all over the place with Urlview and your |
38 |
commandline example. Problem solved. ***ALWAYS USE "new-window"***. |
39 |
Computers never cease to amaze me. Can you pop open 2 xterms and try |
40 |
the following? The first pair should work... |
41 |
|
42 |
in xterm 1 ==> /usr/bin/firefox -new-window "http://www.gentoo.org" |
43 |
in xterm 2 ==> /usr/bin/firefox -new-window "http://www.cnn.com" |
44 |
|
45 |
Now close both Firefox windows and try... |
46 |
|
47 |
in xterm 1 ==> /usr/bin/firefox -no-remote "http://www.gentoo.org" |
48 |
in xterm 2 ==> /usr/bin/firefox -new-window "http://www.cnn.com" |
49 |
|
50 |
The first firefox opens, but the second one fails. |
