I don't believe Mozilla does any such thing. I think you're running into the sometimes very annoying ns_remote feature in Netscape 4.x/6.x which is meant to save startup time when there's already an instance of netscape running. Try running netscape again when mozilla is already running and you'll probably notice that you didn't really solve the problem. To solve this, edit /usr/lib/netscape/base-4/wrapper (which /etc/alternatives/netscape ultimately points to... at least on my woody system it does) and change the line that reads "use_ns_remote=yes," changing the "yes" to "no." Now, when you run netscape with a mozilla instance already running, netscape 4.x will run instead of mozilla. HTH -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
