Hi All, I don't know if anyone has figured out a different solution to the following problem but I'm posting this script in the event anyone else suffers from this annoyance. Problem: Mozilla fails to load URL's submitted to it from Gnome if a profile is already in use. Scenario: You've got mozilla running and you want to open a hyperlink in an email you're reading through Evolution. Upon clicking the hyperlink mozilla pops up the "Select Profile" dialog box because your profile is currently in use. This occurs because the Preferences->Preferred Applications->Web browser is set to execute the command "mozilla %s". Unfortunately, mozilla needs the "-remote" argument if there is already a mozilla process running. Furthermore, the "%s" URL string doesn't expand when placed within a sub-argument so a script is needed to have gnome pass mozilla the correct arguments. Solution: Copy the attached script to /usr/bin and make it executable. Replace Preferences->Preferred Applications->Web browser->Custom Web Browser with the path to the script in /usr/bin. HTH, Harry PS-> Does anyone else have this problem and is there another solution? -- Harry Hoffman hhoffman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx #----------------------------------------------------------------# # Harry: version 4.0a # # Known bugs: # # 1) Verbal output may occur before data processing is complete. # # 2) Loudspeaker option may activate without being invoked. # # 3) Other bugs as reported # #----------------------------------------------------------------# ------------------------------------------------- This mail sent through IpSolutions: http://www.ip-solutions.net/
