Tired of clicking on a URL only to have the Moz Profile Mgr

[linuZman]

Tired of clicking on a URL only to have the Mozilla Profile Manager popup and remind you that you have a mozilla window already open?

Then use this small script:

For Mozilla Firebird:
[code:1]
if (/usr/local/MozillaFirebird/MozillaFirebird -remote "ping()")
then /usr/local/MozillaFirebird/MozillaFirebird -remote "openurl($1, new-tab)"
else /usr/local/MozillaFirebird/MozillaFirebird $1
fi
[/code:1]


For Mozilla:
[code:1]if (mozilla -remote "ping()")
then mozilla -remote "openurl($1, new-tab)"
else mozilla $1
fi
[/code:1]

Add the script to your ~/bin directory or something similar. (ie. ~/bin/moz)

Then you should update in [Preferences] -> [Preferred Applications] the Custom Web Browser with "moz %s".

Now whenever you click a link it will open a new window if one isn't open and a new tab if it is open with the url you clicked.

Say Goodbye to Mozilla Profile Manager forever!!!
