Hi guys!

I am using FF at Linux, and for some reason I need FF to be opened silently. That is, basically, without the loud shout "I has been started, look at me immediately, you don't need all that stuff you worked before anymore!" :)

I want FF to be opened in background or minimized. It can be highlighted at the panel as some Windows application do, but no more attention.

I tried to use "browser.tabs.loadDivertedInBackground" settings, but it didn't work. I have a surmise that this is because technically, not "new tab" is opening but whole browser and in most cases browser is opened by the external application.

Is there some setting (amoung those in "about:config" maybe) which could turn off FF egocentrism? :)

PS. Didn't know which category this is, sorry.

Thanks in advance,

Hello,

This is probably something done outside of Firefox. Instructions are different depending on the desktop environment you are using.

For KDE, I believe you can set certain applications to open minimized by modifying the window rules.

  • Right click on the title bar, More Actions > Special Application Settings
  • Check "Minimised", select "Apply Initially", and "Yes"
  • Click OK to set the settings. If you restart Firefox it should start up minimized.

Alternatively, you can add the rule in your System Settings (at least in KDE4)

  • System Settings > Window Behavior > Windows Rules
  • Click New and set all of the parameters for Firefox

I'm am not too sure about other DEs. You can try Devilspie if you don't mind installing additional software:

It is a program that allows you to create window/application rules. I haven't used it myself but it doesn't look to complicated if you only want to start Firefox minimized.

Thanks for answer.

I am using Gnome, and unfortunally I don't have such options. In windows options I didn't find possibility to set rules.

I tried Devilspie, but it doesn't work. If I correctly understood, it doesn't work on last version of Linux Mint. :-(
