The issue is, Mozilla (and Firebird) will prompt you with the Profile
Selector, if called a second time -- unless you use the remote
parameters like Paul and Brad already mentioned.
However, I posted scripts for this several times already. Basically you
first call {mozilla,firebird} with a new {tab,window} and if that fails
call it the normal way.
Here is a script to accomplish the very same as the already posted
scripts -- just shorter. ;)
#!/bin/sh
mozilla -remote 'openURL('$1', new-tab)' || mozilla $1 &
Brad, you want to use ping() for testing? Check this out, not even
complaints if the ping() "fails", which actually is just correct
reporting.
#!/bin/sh
mozilla -remote 'ping()' 2>> /dev/null && mozilla -remote 'openURL('$1', new-tab)' ||
mozilla $1 &
And here is a variant, is you happen to not have firebird in your
path... ;)
#!/bin/sh
alias firebird='/usr/local/bin/MozillaFirebird/MozillaFirebird'
firebird -remote 'openURL('$1', new-tab)' || firebird $1 &
Have fun...
