e.g.: I don't want to use Firefox Add-ons, and I need to be logged in several places [via HTTPS in ff], but it requires several proxys (so I don't want to install e.g.: foxyproxy).How can I exactly start several Firefox instances, so that I could use several proxys?
View 2 RepliesI installed CentOS 5.3 without major problems, and customized the installation to my heart's content, but I still do not have flash plugin active when I first open firefox. I have to close the first firefox window and from the second instance of firefox, the flash plugin works without any problem.
Here is my setup:
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.0.10) Gecko/2009042718 CentOS/3.0.10-1.el5.centos Firefox/3.0.10
Kernel: 2.6.18-128.1.10.el5.centos.plus, x86_64.
I have KDE 4.4 and Firefox 3.6. Whenever I click a link from a plasmoid widget, it tries to open Konqueror and another instance of Firefox. The page actually loads in the opened Firefox window, but the task bar shows an instance of Konqueror and another instance of Firefox, that keeps loading for a while then close. See image below:
I currently have setup the browser default application as "firefox". If I set this option to use the default application, it opens in Konqueror and I don't see additional windows in the task bar. If I change the option to "firefox %u", then it exhibit the same issue, but the process is much faster, so the loading windows don't stay for long in the task bar. Additionally, it opens the link on a new Firefox window and opens the page twice. Although Konqueror is not loaded, the bouncing icon next to the mouse pointer shows up and stay for a while.
On Ubuntu 10.10 I started a 2nd instance of Firefox using the command: Firefox -ProfileManager -no-remote &Created a new profile and everything works smoothly except for the fact that this instance of FF does not obey by GTK2 customizations that I have placed in ~/.gtkrc-2.0.Moreover, only SOME of the customizations are not obeyed. For example, the vertical scrollbars are supposed to be on the left, but they are on the right. The scrollbar arrows are together (Mac-like) as specified, so is the scrollbar width.The first instance obeys all customizations with scrollbars on the left.

Back-ground... just inherited moderate amount audio files, the mp3 files would play and wma files would not play. Installed ffmpeg, not sure if that fixed it.
1. selecting a music file in the directory will start a new instance of VLC, even when there already is one(vlc panel) displaying.
2. Selecting a wma file will start a new instance of VLC with no sound. However, using the VLC file menu and selecting a wma file from a directory will play sound (sounds pretty good too for cheap speakers).
3. Not sure what I did, but now the VLC is playing every tune in the whole directory, { cool, I discovered how to play tunes all day} but closing the VLC pane doesn't turn off the music. Or at least tell me how to turn off the player.
I'm trying to create a Linux instance on a Windows 7 PC and use dual-boot. I have created 64GB of space for Linux. Is this enough? When I boot from the live DVD and go through the setup, I get stuck setting up the unassigned space as a linux partition. I don't understand what the setup is trying to tell me and I'm afraid I'll wipe out Windows 7. The message I get says there isn't enough space even though the unassigned available area is 64GB. I am very timid about following what Yast2 is telling me because to my untrained eye it appears the setup wants to use my entire hard drive. Where can I find more information about the disk setup section of the installation process?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have been given an Acer 1 ZG5, All I know about it is that It's running Linux with Gnome on top. The Issue I have is that it will not start the Browser (Firefox). If I click the Browser icon on the screenm the cursor shows the spinning ball, then nothing. I try and kick it off again and I get a message to say a browser is already running, shutdown program or restart to continue.

How can I have multiple independent instances of Mozilla Firefox 3.5 on the same X server, but started from different user accounts (consequently, different profiles)?
Limited success was only with Xephyr :1, DISPLAY=:1 /usr/local/bin/firefox, but Xephyr has no Cygwin/X's "rootless" mode so it's not comfortable (see other question).
The idea is to have one Firefox instance for various "Serious Business" things and the other for regular browsing with dozens of add-ons securely isolated.
why firefox is not started if I use scheduler command 'at'. I can start firefox from terminal. But when I use 'at hours:min' it doesn't start. I tried 'firefox &' but it doesn't start too. If instead of 'firefox' I use 'mv fileName1 fileName2' the file is renamed as expected.
Code: at now

Edit: This problem started when I accidentally used a 64-bit package to upgrade my 32-bit system. I upgraded Firefox, and now it won't start. I don't know where to find any relevant error messages. How do I figure out what's wrong? I downloaded the Firefox update from [URL] and installed it with the command
Code: su -c "upgradepkg mozilla-firefox-3.6.4-x86_64-1_slack13.0.txz" The result was as follows:

View 4 Replies View RelatedI've used this approach to install Firefox 3.0.1 on my stock EEE PC, which has worked very well. I've since downloaded and installed version 3.6.12 for Linux, and I can start it up through the terminal with the command ~/firefox/firefox However, I can't start up 3.6.12 using the desktop icon; instead, it reverts back to version 3.0.1. How can I get the desktop icon to start 3.6.12?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI might just be crazy or particularly dumb today but what I'm trying to do is have sed replace the first and second instance of a character on a line but not after that.
Basically it is a csv file with a date formatted as dd/mm/yyyy and I need to completely remove the slashes. No problem using:
Code:
sed 's////g' < file > outputfile
The only problem is that one of the columns after this may also contain these slashes and shouldn't be removed.
I must have read every single sed page on the net today to find a way to do it to no avail! Is it as simple as :
Code:
sed 's////1' < file > outputfile
And then run the same on the output file again? these two slashes will always be the first and second slashes in the file.
So i'm really loving the whole gnome-do/docky thing. My question is that on other docks, you can hold down a modifier key to launch a new instance rather then switching to an already opened instance of an app. So lets say I have chrome on the win7 dock
first click launches chrome
other clicks will focus the opened window
shift click will open a new instance of chrome
ctrl-shift-click will launch a new instance as admin
Is there anything similar in docky?

I want to print, using locate, all the paths that contain the element /bin/ but only one instance of each one. If I issue 'locate /bin/' then I have many screens of text with, for example,
/usr/bin/foo1
/usr/bin/foo2
/home/me/bin/foo3
whereas I want to see only
/usr/bin/foo1
/home/bin/foo3
That is to say, if in two lines /bin/ appears with the same prefix (in the example above the prefixes would be /usr and /home/me) I only want to print the first line. Can I pipe locate to grep to do this? I've mentioned locate because it does not scan the whole disk.
