    keyword=Firefox wrapper added to ~adaq/bin/

    I hacked up a quick wrapper for firefox that more-or-less solves our problem by running new instances using different profiles. Check '~adaq/bin/firefox' for the details.

    I created a profile using '/usr/bin/firefox -p' and used it as a template to create 14 more duplicate profiles in '~adaq/.mozilla/firefox/'. So we should be able to run 14 simultaneous firefox sessions under the adaq account. I think the profile manager will pop-up if we exceed that number.

    NOTE: I modified the PATH in .bash_profile so '~adaq/bin/' comes first. If that is a problem (Ole, Bob?), please revert the change.

    The web-browser button in the toolbar will still pick up /usr/bin/firefox from the old PATH until someone restarts the xsession. (Or just change the 'Command' path to point to '/adaqfs/home/adaq/bin/firefox' via 'Properties'.)

    I only set this up for the adaq account. Other accounts (bbsoft, adev, whatever) will still have the old problem.
