  >Description:
          When mozilla is run, and a mozilla process is already running,
          mozilla will require that the user select a new profile before
          loading. This is because of the lack of a mozilla wrapper which
          will detect if mozilla is already running, if so it will launch
          the call in a new thread of the same instance.
 
 
  >How-To-Repeat:
          * Run mozilla
          * In gnome-terminal or any application that lets you right click
            on a URL and "Open in Browser" etc.
          * When trying to open up link instead you get a message about
            the profile already in use.
 
 
  >Fix:
          Heres a mozilla wrapper I wrote and tested. Works good. This
          should replace the mozilla shell script that currently exists
          (which just cd's to the mozilla dir and run the mozilla binary).
          It should be called 'mozilla' and be on the path.
 
          Any of the mozilla ports which use it must be sure to set the
          initial shell variable correctly for thier specific port. I
          am using the mozilla-devel port, so this is setup for that port.
