Can I at least modify the command line of each launcher? Say I wish to<br>
pass an argument to Firefox each time I launch it, where do I go to<br>
edit the path of the Mozilla icon?<br></blockquote><div><br>You can create a shell script, which calls firefox with the necessary arguments. Save this script on the desktop. Make sure that it is executable. Then, everytime you double-click it, select "Run" in the dialogue box that appears.<br>
