Re: Mozilla 1.0 BugFeature
This is odd. I'm in redhat 7.3 and mozilla opens a new window from sylpheed using the command mozilla %s. If I use mozilla -remote openurl(%s,new-window) it works as well. If I remove the new-window, leaving mozilla -remote openurl(%s) it uses the existing instance of mozilla. I currently have 2 mozilla windows open, and the url is opened in the window on the same desktop as sylpheed. Probably just normal behavior, thought I'd throw it in here.

Re: Mozilla 1.0 BugFeature
I doubt redhat 7.3 has mozilla 1.0. It was just released. That is when the problem started. It was different in 0,99. the new_window thing just makes each link open a new window - but it is the same mozilla. Without this option, each link replaces the current one. This is a matter of preference. On Thu, 13 Jun 2002 05:03:27 -0700 Ken Moffat [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: This is odd.

Re: Mozilla 1.0 BugFeature
Someone has now posted a patch in Bugzilla that fixes the problem and invotes the -remote openurl() behavior if mozilla is running or starts mozilla if it isn't. So you can now invoke it with just 'mozilla foo' as would be expected. Why this wasn't in the original is mindboggling. Anyway, the patch applies to 'run-mozilla.sh'. If anyone needs the patch file, let me know.

Mozilla 1.0 BugFeature
Probably not everyone will agree, but I deem this to be a showstopper BugFeature (tm) in Mozilla 1.0. Seems they have intentionally made it so that multiple instances of the browser cannot be run. So simply clicking on a link in Kmail to bring up a second window won't work. Or even just running it twice from the CLI or menu won't either. Here's one of several Bugzilla's about it: http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=135137 Note that I can run multiple instances of Opera, Konqueror, Internet Explorer, Netscape, and even Mozilla (before 1.0rc3) with no worries about profile corruption. This makes Mozilla largely useless as a browser to me - most every time I click on a link it refuses to start. Is there any other worthwhile choice other than Opera?

Why not just enabled tabbed browsing and configure other apps to use mozilla -remoteURL(foo)? Mozilla's enough of a porker as it is without running two instances. Just for the record, I have two instances of Mozilla running right now.
