Re: OT: command-line launch firefox problem

# WAIT!!!
# Minor correction, and you can just do it, you won't hurt anything.

# Do:
# Cut'n paste the 4 lines below:

mkdir -pv ~/bin/
echo "#! $(which bash)"|sed -e 's/ //g' > ~/bin/ff
echo 'nohup firefox "$@" >/dev/null 2>&1 &' >> ~/bin/ff
chmod 755 ~/bin/ff
. .bashrc
ff test.htm

# Done...
# ET
