I have just decided to go back to using Firefox instead of the
Mozilla-Suite. I've got it communicating properly with Thunderbird in
both directions (which had been my problem, previously).
My wife, however, has been using Firefox all along, and if we both use
the default profile (even in seperate windows) she is complaining that
I am messing up her recently viewed pages and other things like that.
No problem. I made new profiles for both of us using our names as the
profile name. I then juggled the defualt profile and my wife's new
profile so that the old default is renamed to her profile and the
blank, new profile is now the default. I also have my profile
softlinked to my old Mozilla-Suite profile so I have all of my
bookmarks and the like, as well. I even have the button-bar in fvwm
so that a left click brings up Firefox wigth my profile and a
right-click will bring it up with my wife's profile. So far, so good.
Now, we each have seperate desktops that we normally have our browsers
in, so we should be able to tell which one we are using. But people
make mistakes. Even *I* make an occaisional mistake. You right click
when you should left-click, and vice-versa. To catch those errors, I
would like the title-bar for Firefox to display the user profile in
addition to its normal information.
My problem is that I don't know where to look to try and find this, if
it can even be done. Looking at man firefox did not show anything
that was likely to work, and man fvwm is crazy to look through if you
don't know exactly where to look. I tried there, but couldn't find
anything. Does anyone know if this even CAN be done. If so, where do
I look to find the information.
Any help appreciated.
Additional problem.
Prior to setting up seperate profiles, whenever I clicked on a URL in
Thunderbird it would open in whichever Firefox window had been most
recently clicked in. All I had to do was to click in MY Firefox window
prior to reading mail and I could be assured that all URL clicks would
open in my window.
Since I set up seperate profiles, clicking on a URL in Thunderbird
ALWAYS opens the URL in MY WIFE'S Firefox window. This hapens
regardless of which window was most recently clicked.
Since I am the one using Thunderbird, and my wife uses Yahoo! Mail (web
based), this is exactly opposite of what we need. Is there any way to
tell Thunderbird to open URLs in the Firefox window opened with MY profile?
