If I have a Mozilla (1.2.1 XFT) window open and try to open a Netscape
7.01 window, I get another Mozilla window. If I close all browser
windows and start Netscape, it opens normally. On the other hand, I
_can_ open a Phoenix 0.3 window when Mozilla is running. I am starting
all from the menu, which calls from /usr/local/mozilla/mozilla ,
/usr/local/netscape/netscape and /usr/local/phoenix/phoenix
Anyone have an idea on how I can open Netscape without closing all
Mozilla windows? I tried opening in a termialdoen't work.

Hi Mike,
Both Netscape and Mozilla use the same "user" directory, .mozilla, to do their
thing when they're running. ergo, when you had Mozilla running and started
Netscape it "appeared" as though another instance of Mozilla was running.
When, in fact, it was actually Netscape.
The way to get around this is to setup a seperate profile for Netscape so that
it isn't looking at your Mozilla dir, or the files contained therein. Once
you've done this you shouldn't have this problem again.
Thanks for the reply, Mark. Actually, I already had a separate identity
for Netscape, but never got a chance to select it. I open a Mozilla
browser using the menu and select the "Mike-Mz" identity. In another
desktop I then try to open Netscape from the menu. No chance to choose
"Mike-Ns" identity because a new Mozilla window opens immediately. If I
go back to the menu and select Mozilla to open a second browser a dialog
box opens saying that Mike-Mz is in use and to select another identity.
I then choose Mike-Ns and something strange happens. The new browser
opened is Mozilla 1.2.1(checked under Help>About Mozilla), _but_ it has
a _modern_ theme, not the classic which I use with Mozilla. What is
that all about?
I see that both identities are in /home/mike/.mozilla and the only thing
under /home/mike/.netscape is an empty plugins folder.
Any other thoughts?
Mike
