Oh and did I mention it's a major pain to do a GUI yes/no dialog on unix/mac, portably in a way that always works? We don't have a system tray applet on unix but we do have start menu shortcuts, including Browse Freenet... On the other hand on Windows we'd probably need to enumerate all processes, which probably means some hackery involving the windows api, assuming AHK doesn't provide something. But it doesn't solve the basic problem: IT SHOULD JUST WORK! If the problem doesn't arise with Chrome then that might be a feasible solution at least on Windows (and presumably Mac)... > > > > Ian. > > > > On Mon, Jul 11, 2011 at 9:31 AM, Matthew Toseland <toad at > > amphibian.dyndns.org > > > wrote: > > > > > Ideas? > > > > > > > > > ---------- Forwarded message ---------- > > > From: Mantis Bug Tracker <mantis at osprey.vm.bytemark.co.uk> > > > To: toad at amphibian.dyndns.org > > > Date: Mon, 11 Jul 2011 01:56:07 +0100 > > > Subject: [Freenet 0005209]: Freenet forces firefox into private browsing > > > mode > > > > > > The following issue has been SUBMITTED. > > > ====================================================================== > > > https://bugs.freenetproject.org/view.php?id=5209 > > > ====================================================================== > > > Reported By: somebody > > > Assigned To: toad > > > ====================================================================== > > > Project: Freenet > > > Issue ID: 5209 > > > Category: website > > > Reproducibility: always > > > Severity: major > > > Priority: urgent > > > Status: assigned > > > ====================================================================== > > > Date Submitted: 2011-07-11 01:56 BST > > > Last Modified: 2011-07-11 01:56 BST > > > ====================================================================== > > > Summary: Freenet forces firefox into private browsing > > > mode > > > Description: > > > I installed freenet and it opened a private browsing window.
