I run the command:
"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -ProfileManager -new-tab http://mail.yahoo.com
and it opens two tabs. One my home page, and one the tab I asked for. Is there a way to just open one tab?
Answers:
Jimmy, I've been playing around with this question for a little bit to see if I can get you a solution.
My setup (this may or may not play into any differences)
VMWare Workstation 5.0
Hosting a virtual 'browser appliance'
The browser appliance is Ubuntu with Firefox.
Basically, this should just look like a standard Linux distro with Firefox as the browser.
The following two scenarios start Firefox and display a single tab pointing to mail.yahoo.com
1) Call firefox with a single URL as the only argument
(removing references to my install path, you may need to keep yours)
firefox mail.yahoo.com
2) If I create a profile, specify mail.yahoo.com as the homepage of that profile, then use command line args to start that profile (which I've named 'test') and check the box "Don't ask at startup" to prevent the display of the dialog box that asks you which profile you want to use.
firefox -ProfileManager Test
Hope that helps.
ctrl+t
that is all and it will open jusdt one tab
