[Bug 211533] Re: Could not start a Firefox session in background; windows pop up on desktop instead

[Jarno Suni]

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: firefox
  
  A Firefox session is opened automatically when you start Firefox, if you
  have chosen "show windows and tabs from last time" in Startup
  preferences. Furthermore, if you do not close Firefox 3 explicitly
  before logging out, the saved session will be opened automatically after
  logging in next time. A Firefox session can contain a lot of windows
  that are opened on top of each other on the desktop and you can not use
  your computer while windows keep popping up.
  
  I would like to get Firefox opened in background so that I can use my
  computer while Firefox is starting up. I can do so in Mandriva 2008
  spring / Gnome / Firefox 2; (I didn't test in Ubuntu Gnome): I could
  continue working in terminal while Firefox is starting; Firefox does not
  steal focus or pop up, if you click or type in e.g. a terminal window
  after you have started Firefox startup. I would expect similar behavior
  in Xfce / Xubuntu / Firefox (and other applications).
  
  I can not start Firefox minimized by command "kstart --iconify firefox
  &", either. Even if I could, I am not sure, if this would open the
  session minimized, when Firefox starts automatically after logging in.
  (I can start e.g. OpenOffice.org iconified to the Task List by
- respective kstart command, see Bug #20767 for details.)
+ respective kstart command in Xubuntu 8.04, but not in 8.10, see Bug
+ #20767 for details.)
  
  I am using Xubuntu 8.04 & Firefox 3.
