run firefox with a profile

[deepyogi]

i have created a custom profile for firefox. i am being able to open firefox with this profile but i want also want to run another command with it. let me explain more. so this opens firefox with desired profile.

firefox -P/root/.mozilla/firefox/oscucdwa.customprofile

and this runs my script well

firefox "javascript:window.open('htp://yahoo.com','myapp',toolbar=0,menubar=0);self.close();"

but i somehow want to combine them together. like achieve both in one command
any help is much appreciated. thanks

Welcome to the forums!

I think it should work fine to just type:

firefox -P/root/.mozilla/firefox/oscucdwa.customprofile "javascript:window.open('htp://yahoo.com','myapp',toolbar=0,menubar=0);self.close();"

thanks for the reply. above does not work. it just opens firefox with homepage. and i changed "htp" above to "http" as well. so that is not the reason. any other suggestions? thanks

hmmm... Sorry about that...
Ok... I tried this and unfortunately my version of firefox aparently does not allow javascript urls for firefox in the command line... at least I don't know how to make it work right. That is to say, I cannot run the script you are trying to run, so I'm not sure about this.
But if all you want to do is run two commands consecutively, then you can enter them on the same line seperated by a semicolon. Or am I misunderstanding your question?

firefox -P/root/.mozilla/firefox/oscucdwa.customprofile; firefox "javascript:window.open('htp://yahoo.com','myapp',toolbar=0,menubar=0);self.close();"
