 |
|
Hi!
I'm running Gnome 2.6 with two Monitors. Everything works fine but there is that annoying Problem, that I'm not able to run firefox on both Monitors using the same Profile.
I can run the firefox script from /usr/lib/MozillaFirefox but if its active at the other Monitor the Profilemanager shows up and asks me, which Profile to use.
But I don't want to choose a Profile each time running firefox.
Is there a way to tell firefox ( v0.8 ) which profile to use? Or is it possible to let two instances of firefox use one Profile (which is the better way)? |

Oh... I tried around with the command line option I found on Mozillazine.org, but it don't work in linux.
| Code: | | firefox -Profile default1 |
or
| Code: | | firefox -Profile ~/.phoenix/default1 |
The Manager still pops up, no matter if with or without ending slash... |
