** Description changed: Binary package hint: firefox A Firefox session is opened automatically when you start Firefox, if you have chosen "show windows and tabs from last time" in Startup preferences. Furthermore, if you do not close Firefox 3 explicitly before logging out, the saved session will be opened automatically after logging in next time. A Firefox session can contain a lot of windows that are opened on top of each other on the desktop and you can not use your computer while windows keep popping up. I would like to get Firefox opened in background so that I can use my computer while Firefox is starting up. I can do so in Mandriva 2008 spring / Gnome / Firefox 2; (I didn't test in Ubuntu Gnome): I could continue working in terminal while Firefox is starting; Firefox does not steal focus or pop up, if you click or type in e.g. a terminal window after you have started Firefox startup. I would expect similar behavior in Xfce / Xubuntu / Firefox (and other applications). I can not start Firefox minimized by command "kstart --iconify firefox &", either. Even if I could, I am not sure, if this would open the session minimized, when Firefox starts automatically after logging in. (I can start e.g. OpenOffice.org iconified to the Task List by - respective kstart command, see Bug #20767 for details.) + respective kstart command in Xubuntu 8.04, but not in 8.10, see Bug + #20767 for details.) I am using Xubuntu 8.04 & Firefox 3.
