One recommendation was to install an addon: The solution is to install Minimize On Start And Close Firefox Add-On. Other solutions were only applicable when starting from a script using xdotool, #!/bin/bash #launch the program in the background, with all command-line options passed to it. firefox "$@" & #grab its process id. pidno=$! #wait for a second so that the window has time to fully register. sleep 1 #use xdotool to make sure that window is raised to the top. #this is necessary because it won't directly accept xdotool keypresses otherwise. #matches both the pid and the class, to ensure we have the right window. xdotool search --all --pid $pidno --class firefox windowactivate #use xdotool again to simulate your hotkey combo. Adjust as necessary. xdotool key alt+F9 exit 0 or configuring the window manager if it allowed it, like KDE. In KDE KWin can do things like that. Bring Firefox window to the front, then hit Alt+F3 and on the menu select 'Advanced' > 'Special Window Settings'. At least here you could make it so that (certain) Firefox windows are initially minimized. And for the System Tray, you need to create/modifiy an application starter, where the option "Place in System Tray" is checked. In 'kmenuedit', for instance. These were all pretty old, so I'm not sure they still work. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
