> Issue 46: FireWatir 1.1 now launches new browser on linux/darwin
> 1 person starred this issue and may be notified of changes.
> Status: New
> Owner: ----
> Type-Defect
> Priority-Medium
> Reported by glenn.gillen, Oct 14, 2007
> Linux behaviour has changed to now launch a new firefox instance/window on
> FireWatir::initialize.
> Can contructor be changed to accept a parameter to prevent this and require
> the user to have launched firefox manually? I have a script that
> recursively parses files in a directory and this is now quite resource
> intensive with all of these firefox instances.

> So what I understood is, first you process/parse the files and then start
> Firefox
> manually?
> You can use waitTime parameter to actually wait till processing is over. Or
> you can
> do the processing first and then create new instance of Firefox. I may be
> wrong if I
> am missing something completely here.

> Comment 2 by glenn.gillen, Oct 15, 2007
> The problem is:
> @f = FireWatir::Firefox.new
> calls `firefox -jssh`
> Which will open a new instance of firefox. Previously (at least on linux
> looking at the old code) this wasn't
> executed and the user was responsible for making sure firefox was already
> open with jssh enabled. I'd prefer
> to be able to enforce the old method as a parameter then I can ensure only
> one firefox window is ever open.
> `firefox -jssh` always opens a new window.

> You can use attach() to connect to an already running instance.
> Description:
> Used for attaching pop up window to an existing Firefox window, either by
> url or title.
> ff.attach(:url, 'http://www.google.com'
> ff.attach(:title, 'Google')

> Hi Ghimus,
> I am not sure if what you saying works with Firewatir. As far as I know
> Firewatir
> can't connect to an existing Firefox instance, which is different from a
> window pop up.
