Thanks for the reply, Mark. Actually, I already had a separate identity for Netscape, but never got a chance to select it. I open a Mozilla browser using the menu and select the "Mike-Mz" identity. In another desktop I then try to open Netscape from the menu. No chance to choose "Mike-Ns" identity because a new Mozilla window opens immediately. If I go back to the menu and select Mozilla to open a second browser a dialog box opens saying that Mike-Mz is in use and to select another identity. I then choose Mike-Ns and something strange happens. The new browser opened is Mozilla 1.2.1(checked under Help>About Mozilla), _but_ it has a _modern_ theme, not the classic which I use with Mozilla. What is that all about?On Saturday 11 January 2003 10:59 am, Mike Larson scribbled incoherently:If I have a Mozilla (1.2.1 XFT) window open and try to open a Netscape 7.01 window, I get another Mozilla window. If I close all browser windows and start Netscape, it opens normally. On the other hand, I _can_ open a Phoenix 0.3 window when Mozilla is running. I am starting all from the menu, which calls from /usr/local/mozilla/mozilla , /usr/local/netscape/netscape and /usr/local/phoenix/phoenix Anyone have an idea on how I can open Netscape without closing all Mozilla windows? I tried opening in a termial....doen't work. Mike
Hi Mike,
Both Netscape and Mozilla use the same "user" directory, .mozilla, to do their thing when they're running. ergo, when you had Mozilla running and started Netscape it "appeared" as though another instance of Mozilla was running. When, in fact, it was actually Netscape.
The way to get around this is to setup a seperate profile for Netscape so that it isn't looking at your Mozilla dir, or the files contained therein. Once you've done this you shouldn't have this problem again.
I see that both identities are in /home/mike/.mozilla and the only thing under /home/mike/.netscape is an empty plugins folder.
Any other thoughts?
Mike
