Disabling profile support in Firebird

Hi all,

Can we disable profile support in Firebird, so i can start another Firebird instance when I want, not doing Ctrl+n at any times ?

Not as far as I know.

Can we ask for a futur improvement, an option like disable profile ?

If you only have one profile, the Profile Manager should never show up. If you want to open an instance of Mozilla Firebird and you have two profiles just do:

Code: Select all

"path\to\firebird\mozillafirebird.exe" -p "profile name"

In MS-DOS.

The problem is that i've only one profile ! And each time i start a new instance of mozilla, Profile Manager shows up and say me i can't start Firebird because another instance is running !

I'm running Mozilla 1.7a, Copyright (c) 2003 mozilla.org, build 2004011708 under linux.

Is this behaviour ok ?

Mozilla or Firebird?? This is Firebird's forum... BTW the '-remote' command should provide that functionality but I'm on Win and don't know how to use it well... there are some scripts around here that will provide full support for this.

# ./MozillaFirebird -v
Mozilla 1.7a, Copyright (c) 2003 mozilla.org, build 2004011708

-remote paraeter may be useful but I don't want to specify on command line which url I want to open. Just open another instance of Mozilla ...

To check your version you should go to Help -> About MozillaFirebird and paste the string you find there...
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7a) Gecko/20040110 Firebird/0.8.0+ (Oxs G7 SSE optimized)
