Mozilla Option and ATI driver questions


Recommended Posts

Right....

I seem to remember (Though I admit, I'm losing brain cells, and can't remember much now... I guess these things happen when you finally get a girl :blush: )

That Mozilla had some sort of way to set it so that IF I executed the 'mozilla' app again, it would bring me to a new tab, or a new window, instead of popping up with it's annoying: USER PROFILE settings and telling me I can't use both on default.

Can't .... remember.... :blush:

feeling n00bish today....

Also, are there 3rd party non-propriatary drivers for Radeon cards?Because I *don't have an RPM manager* which makes it a BIT OF A CHALLENGE to install the normal ATI drivers. (I compile everything... trying to make my box a 'precompiled binary free zone' :rolleyes: ;) )

Even if there are other projects I doubt they'd be as fast as the ATI ones - even if they are pre-compiled. They kinda have the benefit of first-hand knowledge here :(

**********Darn it, just tried this (used to work in firebird and phoenix) but I can't seem to get it to work with firefox********

********** just tried editing all the names and locations to point properly, oepened firefox.pl and it opened mozilla o_0 it should be doing the opposite...and when I click to open firefox normally, it still asks for the profile...guess this code doesn't work anymore...

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

# use phoenix ?

$use_phoenix=not $ENV{'USE_MOZ'};

# the mozilla home

$mozilla_home='/usr/local/mozilla';

# the phoenix or firebird home

$phoenix_home='/usr/lib/firebird';

# uncomment one of these to get the desired effect

# uncomment this to open the url in the original window

#$behavior="";

# uncomment this to open the url in a new window

#$behavior=",new-window";

# uncomment this to open the url in a new tab

$behavior=",new-tab";

#################################################################################

$moz_home=$use_phoenix?$phoenix_home:$mozilla_home;

$moz_bin=$use_phoenix?'MozillaFirebird':'mozilla';

$bin="$moz_home/$moz_bin";

$behavior="" if not defined $behavior;

$url=shift;

$url='' if not $url;

$url=~s/^"|"$//g;

$arg='';

$is_moz_running=`ps -U $ENV{'USER'} | grep " $moz_bin"`;

if($is_moz_running){

if($url=~m/\w+@\w+\.\w+/){

$arg="-remote 'mailto($url)'";

}

else{

$arg="-remote 'openURL($url$behavior)'";

}

}

else{

$arg="'$url'";

}

# mozilla sometimes give warning about MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME is not set

# also, setting LC_CTYPE is just to my convenience, as I have it normally set to

# something else.

my $cmd="export LC_CTYPE=en_US;export MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME=$moz_home;$bin $arg";

system($cmd);

you will have to edit this to where firebird is located... save this as firefox.pl, make it executable

I know it can be done, because I turned off that annoying feature on my PC at home!

And it seemed easy enough to do that I didn't note what I did to change it. :|

It may be under "about:config".... I can't look around, because I am at work and forced to use these Windows PCs... :(

I did it too, except I re-did all the directory structures,recompiled everything, etc, etc.

and now i can't remember what I did! :)

It's not so simple as selecting "don't ask on startup" is it? I dunno, because I don't want to delete my config and have to figure it out over again! :p

If all these other people are saying they can't figure it out...

*It probably IS an option like that* :rolleyes: :laugh:
