Firefox. You can only have a profile open on one machine at a time. Very annoying. There is no need to a profile to be tied to exactly one running instance of the application. Much of the data is stored in sqlite, which I believe supports this mode of operation. It should be possible to do this. Instead of launching FF directly, I launch a wrapper with picks a different profile based on the machine name (and whether it's under VNC or not). I keep one profile as the master, and have a script that syncs the rest to the master profile. I keep any info I want shared in online systems (i..e, bookmarks, history). mrc -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
