User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.3.1) Gecko/20030425

Dating back to the days of Microsoft Dos, Dos/Windows programs have always
yielded their command-line switches and corresponding syntax through the use of
the " /?" switch. So when a user types in
"C:\Program Files\mozilla.org\mozilla\mozilla.exe" /?
at a command line mozilla should display a web page listing all available
command-line syntax.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click [Start]
2. Click "Run"
3. Type the following adjust for the installation path of your Mozilla executable:
"C:\Program Files\mozilla.org\mozilla\mozilla.exe" /?
4. Press Enter
Actual Results:
Nothing happens, no browser windows appear, no tray icons emerge, nothing.
Expected Results:
Mozilla should display a web page listing all currently accepted command-line
switches.
At this time that would be:
To keep Mozilla always running in the sytem tray for faster execution:
Mozilla.exe -Turbo
To open a specific web page be it a local file C:\Dodo.htm or a web site like
"HTTP://www.RawSeattle.org":
MOZILLA.EXE -url "%1"
Please have other developers contribute additional switches/usage if there are
any.
Thanks,
Christian Blackburn
Try running "NTBackup" /? in Windows 2000 (probably WinXP too) and you'll see
the command-line syntax for the backup utility.

I also found this switch related to XUL files. Can someone elaborate on what
this is for exactly?
C:\PROGRA~1\MOZILLA.ORG\MOZILLA\MOZILLA.EXE -chrome "%1"
The other web documents open with -URL, why do XUL files get the -chrome switch?
Also it should be noted whether or not these switches are case sensetive or not.
Thanks,
Christian Blackburn
