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: There may be a way of using Applescript. Should have checked what I suggested first. Yup it does open behind the terminal Window. This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
