These three are with firefox closed initially: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ time firefox real 0m6.408s user 0m1.216s sys 0m0.096s [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ time firefox -new-window real 0m3.251s user 0m1.264s sys 0m0.072s [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ time LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/firefox /usr/lib/firefox/firefox-bin; echo $? real 0m3.436s user 0m1.256s sys 0m0.096s 0 These three are with firefox already running: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ time firefox real 0m0.084s user 0m0.040s sys 0m0.016s [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ time LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/firefox /usr/lib/firefox/firefox-bin; echo $? real 0m0.082s user 0m0.040s sys 0m0.012s 0 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ time LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/firefox /usr/lib/firefox/firefox-bin -new-window; echo $? real 0m0.084s user 0m0.032s sys 0m0.004s 0 They all work as expected. > > How do you get your initial firefox window to show up?

Yes, I run it from a launcher, then after it's running, links from other programs open correctly in firefox (either a new window or new tab, depending on what I selected in the gnome preferences). > ============================================================== > Ignore the following since I think it won't work for you (yet) > ============================================================== > > When you start it without any already-running FF process from within > gnome, what is its parent PID (ps -ef)?
