Mozilla 1.0 BugFeature

[Michael Hipp]

I don't want to run a second instance as the same user. I just want to be 
able to click on a link, say in Kmail, and have the silly thing come up. 
Works in every other browser known to mankind.

Yes. You can run it twice from within. But from without it refuses. Tabbed 
browsing only works from within the app.

Where is "-remoteURL(foo)" documented? I've now seen 4 different versions of 
this sort of option and can't find the real deal anywhere? I'd like to RTFM 
if I could find one.

Thanks,
Michael
