can't open new firebird window

[DyDx]

when download manager is open... if I run my Firebird shortcut again (which points to /usr/local/MozillaFirebird/MozillaFirebird) it says the "default" profile is already in use and won't let me open a new window w/ it. Since I hate having multiple profile's for no reason, what is a way around this?

This has been asked here a couple of times. As a wise man once said seek and you shall find.


Just a suggestion, have you tried tabs? My favorite feature about mozilla.

JamminJoeyB is right: many other asked, but I found no *answers*, so I did a search for myself and I found the code below: warning, I don't know if it works since I haven't tryed it but the idea is clear:

if [ "$URL" = "" ]; then
URL="$DEFAULT"
fi

$PHOENIX -remote "ping()"
# $? = false if running, true if not
if [ $? = 0 ] ; then
# 'new-tab' also exists, but it

$PHOENIX -remote openURL"($URL,new-window)"

$PHOENIX $URL

exit
