MozillaFirebird wrapper script

[Tim Wunder]

I condigured KDE to use Firebird as the default browser, but if I clicked on 
multiple links in K-Mail, I was getting prompted for a profile to use. So I 
had to close the already opened Firebird to open the new link. Someone on 
comp.windows.x.kde (Dennis Hansen) posted a wrapper script to get Mozilla 
1.5a (about which a poster was complaining of the same problem) to not prompt 
for the profile (this script is a bit simpler than what's found at  
http://linux-sxs.org/internet_browsing/multimoz.html):
#!/bin/bash
MOZILLA=/usr/bin/mozilla
if ($MOZILLA -remote "ping()"); then
     $MOZILLA -remote "openurl($1, new-tab)"
else
    $MOZILLA $1
fi

I created a new file called /usr/bin/firebird, pasted that, changed the 
MOZILLA= line to 
MOZILLA=/opt/MozillaFirebird/MozillaFirebird
(which is where I installed Firebird), and made the file executable. This has 
the added benefit of opening new links in new tabs. Now all is right with the 
Universe again. :-)

Regards, 
Tim
