Using "-no-remote -P profile" with Pale Moon
This relates to Windows 7.
With Firefox, I've been keeping two instances of the browser on my computer; one for employed work topics, and one for "other" use. For the work instance, I use a Start Menu item with the following command string:
"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -no-remote -P Jira4Dwig "http://jira.ols.advpubtech.com/secure/MyJiraHome.jspa". The other uses the default profile. This has worked well; no matter which starts first, each instance gets the right profile.
So, now that I'm happily ensconced in Pale Moon, I tried the equivalent trick. From a bash command window, I entered:
./palemoon.exe -no-remote -P Jira4Dwig "http://jira.ols.advpubtech.com/secure/MyJiraHome.jspa"
(I've tried it with both "-no-remote ..." and "--no-remote ..."; no difference.)
What comes up doesn't have the tabs associated with the Jira4Dwig profile, and it looks pretty much as though it's using the default. In particular, the sessions showing in the Session Manager are those of the default.
So, is there some "secret sauce" that will get what I want, or does Pale Moon not support what I'm trying to do?

Re: Using "-no-remote -P profile" with Pale Moon
The correct invocation, at least for linux, appears to be palemoon -new-instance -p profile_name. Note the lower-case "p".

Re: Using "-no-remote -P profile" with Pale Moon
I'm sorry, I don't understand. You are running a bash shell in Windows 7 ? Could someone please explain? Thanks.
FWIW, here is the output of palemoon --help . (I can't seem to find any actual man pages for Pale Moon.) the --no-remote option should work because it implies --new-instance.
I have modified all my icons and Terminal profiles, etc. so that when I invoke Pale Moon, it always always run "palemoon -P --no-remote" so that I am always sure to get the right profile.
But again, could someone explain to me about Windows 7 and bash? Thanks.

You do realize that you're posting on the "Pale Moon for Linux" forum? I assumed that this was a request for help with the linux version.gracious1 wrote:I'm sorry, I don't understand. You are running a bash shell in Windows 7 ? Could someone please explain? Thanks.

So I am simply asking for an explanation, since this is the Linux forum.PaleDwiggy wrote:This relates to Windows 7.
And I did my best to help this person with their apparently Linux-related problem, but I still like to know what they are talking about relating this to Windows 7.
Peace out.

Re: Using "-no-remote -P profile" with Pale Moon
First, my apologies for posting on a "for Linux" thread; I'm still a novice at this forum.
For completeness, and to help anyone who tries to follow my path, here's what I've been able to accomplish:
I now can run two instances of PM with different tab sets, one of them using "-no-remote -P profilename", the other set up with a different profile name.
However, I can't get either of them to come up with the tabs loaded; I have to use SessionManager to do the trick there (it helps to save a named session with the "profiled" tabs, to avoid having to look for the "right" tab set on startup). The profiles seem to have the right stuff in them, since in each case, the Session Manager sees the correct named session.
Given that I generally go for days without rebooting, this isn't a big issue, but if someone finds a way to fix this glitch, I'll be happy to see it.

Yes, you can get multiple tabs to come up at startup. It's a 2-step processPaleDwiggy wrote:However, I can't get either of them to come up with the tabs loaded; I have to use SessionManager to do the trick there (it helps to save a named session with the "profiled" tabs, to avoid having to look for the "right" tab set on startup).
