Hi, Terry,
Thanks for the feedback.
Actually I'm working on a Firefox addon which provide user the
feature to switch among existing profiles. So I can use a Firefox
method to start another independent Firefox process. But the new
Firefox is always behind the previous one. I got the idea to use
"open" from mozilla community, so I did some trick like this:
1. write a shell script to start Firefox in a new process
2. create a fake.app folder which contains necessary folder
structure/files to make it looks like an application to "open"
3. write another shell script to "open" this fake.app
4. call the 2nd script from my addon.
It works but seems not to be a "beautiful" solution. So I'm
wondering if there's any other way to solve it. If you have any
idea about that, could you please let me know? Thanks a lot!
Firefox already had the ability to switch between profiles, though
on the Mac you will
have to go through the command line:
/Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox -ProfileManager
There may be a way of using Applescript.
