You can compile firefox without gnomevfs.  Just turn off support for
smb:// style URLs.

Firefox 1.5 getting downright irritating

2006-04-03 Thread Paul Schmehl
Does anyone know how to get Firefox 1.5 to *always* start with the 
ProfileManager?  I'm using KDE 3.5, FreeBSD 6.0, Xorg 6.9.0 and Firefox 
1.5.  I've created an application starter on the menubar that has the path 
to firefox (/usr/X11R6/bin/firefox) with the argument -ProfileManager.  The 
first time I start Firefox, the profile manager pops up and prompts me to 
select a profile.  All subsequent launches of Firefox use the profile that 
I selected initially.  I want Firefox to prompt me *every* time it starts, 
because I have created several profiles, each designed to do different 
tasks and be open in different windows.  Each profile uses tabbed Homes so 
I can start a number of tabs with different tasks in them.


I've edited profile.ini as follows:
StartWithLastProfile=0
and
StartWithLastProfile=1

Neither setting makes any difference at all.  Checking and unchecking the 
box to start on startup *also* does nothing.  (As does the prompt to make 
firefox the default browser.)


I even tried removing StartWithLastProfile entirely.  *Nothing* works. 
There's no man pages for firefox, firefox-bin, profile.ini, profilemanager, 
mozilla or mozilla-bin, and googling has been futile so far.

Hi Paul,

it's working here as expected - Don't ask at startup box changes
StartWithLastProfile to 0/1 and ProfileManager starts every time if
set to 0.

I'm using it ever since I installed Firefox 2.0a in addition to 1.5.
The machine is running FreeBSD 6-STABLE, Firefox 1.5 and 2.0a,
Enlightenment DR17 but I doubt it's related.

Maybe you're editing the wrong file? Or while Firefox is running? Too
tight file permissions? Just some thoughts. Here's mine profiles.ini:

-
$ ls -l ~/.mozilla/firefox/profiles.ini
-rw-r--r--  1 karol  karol  216 Apr  3 18:01
/home/karol/.mozilla/firefox/profiles.ini

$ cat ~/.mozilla/firefox/profiles.ini
[General]
StartWithLastProfile=0

[Profile0]
Name=1.5
IsRelative=1
Path=.1.5

[Profile1]
Name=temp
IsRelative=1
Path=.temp

[Profile2]
Name=2.0-alpha1
IsRelative=1
Path=.2.0-alpha1
Default=1
-

HTH,

Karol

This is not the answer to your problem, but there is an extension called 
session saver that saves your firefox session just as you left it (with all 
the tabs intact).  You can save as many sessions as you want and reload the 
last saved or a specific one.  It might do what you want.

Last saved won't do me any good.  I want four tabbed browsers with four 
completely different sessions going.  The only way to do that is with 
profiles, AFAIK.
