Hi all,
I just installed my first program all by myself in Linux (Red Hat 8.0). This is mozilla 1.3a alpha. I installed it in a new directory, and left the old mozilla in its old directory. I then, not knowing what I was doing, pointed the shorcut to the mozilla launcher.
Now I can only use the shortcut once, before it says "default profile in use choose another profile." I guess it is trying to open up a whole other instance of mozilla instead of just creating a new window.
So now I have to open one window with the shortcut, then go "File->New->Window" Whenever I want to create a new window (or ctr-n) and, if I want that window in a different desktop, I have to drag it to that desktop. Very annoying.
Does anyone know how to rectify this situation? It used to be that I would just hit the quick launch button and it would open a browser every time, whether there was a browser open or not, and on whatever desktop. Now I can only use it once.
Thanks for helping a Linux newb
edit: Nevermind... I had a friend tell me what his quicklaunch command line was. For anyone interested, it is "htmlview %u" (without quotation marks).
