mozilla 1.5 launch & profile issue

[blue]

Hi All,

I installed mozilla 1.5 last week, however, it isn't working as I expected. Can someone please point out where I have misconfigured my mozilla 1.5?? I doubt this is a bug, it must be something on my end. Any help is appreciated.

(RH9 w/ Gnome and Mozilla 1.5)

Expected behaviour
1. Click the launcher to open a mozilla window (in a default profile, no questions asked)
2. Click the launcher again to open a second mozilla window (in the SAME default profile, no questions asked)

Actual behaviour
1. Click the launcher --> One mozilla window opens in a default profile, no questions asked.
2. Click the launcher again --> "Select user profile" dialog opens asking for me to pick a profile
3. Select the default profile --> Alert "Mozilla cannot use the profile "default" because it is in use. Please choose another profile or create a new one." OK
4. Click OK, create a new profile.
5. Create Profile --> No errors.
6. At Select User Profile dialog, choose new profile --> opens newly created profile.
7. Repeat from step 2 for every new mozilla session

Apparently I need a new profile for every launcher click... that is so not cool because I can't even link to mozilla from other applications if I already have a mozilla session open! Arg. What have I misconfigured?

Oh yes, one more note; If I <ctrl>-N from an existing mozilla session, a new window is created as expected.

I just realized I forgot to update this thread. You can read the link for more information about how and why I wrote the below script. It works.

[edit: When adapting the script below for FireBird, please note that the default behaviour for opening a new window is slightly different. Mozilla opens the homepage when fed a "" parameter while Firebird opens a blank page.]
