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