Is that your final answer? ;-) Of course that doesn't work, at least on the firefox installed on CentOS 5. No that would be too easy! :-) However, curiously enough, when I hacked up the firefox wrapper to add that capability, I called the variable MOZ_NO_REMOTE (probably in half-remembered tribute to the long ago variable of the same name). -- Timothy Knox <mailto:t...@thelbane.com> The one thing I've learned about freedom of expression is that you really ought to keep that sort of thing to yourself. -- Scott Adams, _I'm Not Anti-Business, I'm Anti-Idiot_
