TMK, this has always happened. However as I've stated (on this list)
before, if you invoke the second with a "-" option it will launch
seperately.
$ mozilla & # launches and backgrounds mozilla
$ MozillaFirebird - & # launches and backgrounds firebird
The "-" is checked for in the startup script for both mozilla and
firebird:
USE_EXIST=0
opt="$1"
case "$opt" in
-mail)
open_mail ${1+"$@"}
;;
-compose)
open_compose ${1+"$@"}
;;
-*) ;;
*) USE_EXIST=1 ;;
esac
So, if the "-" is provided, the USE_EXIST variable does not get set to 1
and thus a new session is launched rather than the existing.
