I felt your pain, I pretty quickly changed my flexbuilder preference to the browser that I don't usually use for general browsing. In my case that's internet explorer, I guess on mac you might choose firefox or opera if you main one is safari?
There may be some way to configure safari to do what you want it to (I recall one for firefox to get it to launch a new window as a default action rather than a tab), but for me it seemed rather harder work than just using a different browser for (most of) my debugging in flexbuilder. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] on behalf of Guy Morton Sent: Tue 26/08/2008 23:09 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Stop Flex closing whole browser I develop on mac os x using firefox and fb just opens a new tab when I run my app. It doesn't close any windows or tabs when I stop an app. maybe you should try ff instead?
