Executing Mozilla & Profiles

[Robert Bushman]

Hi,

Yes, you can use the mouse to open a new window,
and Phoenix supports tabbed browsing as well.

I use this script to launch a new browser with
shortcut keys.  I have 6 viewports (similar to
virtual desktops) in my standard Sawfish
configuration.  I keep my browser in the lower
right hand viewport.  When I'm in a different
viewport, and want to fire Phoenix, with this
script and a key shortcut bound to it, I can
pop a new browser window with <control>-<alt>-p.

IMO, one of the best features of Linux is the
ability to do most things without having to
remove your hands from the keyboard.  If you're
a touch typist and don't have RSI, it can
dramatically increase productivity.
