> Using -P should start a new copy of Firefox regardless of whether -no-remote is > given, as it does on Windows, since this is the behavior users will expect. Do you see that word "should"? This is a request for change, because Firefox behaves as its authors intended it to work (you are just supposed to use "-no-remote"). You may not agree with programmers' decision that -no-remote should be used, and you won't be alone in this disagreement, but the proper venue for such change is upstream, and you should file this bug upstream (http://bugzilla.mozilla.org) yourself. Closing as NOTABUG, because we don't believe this is a bug (i.e., a difference between expected and real behaviour of the program). If you disagree, please, reopen with reasons why you do so. Thanks for confirming that this should be reported upstream. |
