mozilla --sync --no-xshm -jsconsole http://camera01.cs.wustl.edu This brings up two navigator windows with smallest possible height. This happens only when with url. if I try the same experiment with java.sun.com (or any other) two windows appear, but the windows have no menus in it. I saw the same behaviour on a Linux too.

when you do mozilla -jsconsole URL what you are telling it is to bring up the javscript console, and have it (the javascript console) load the URL.

Got it. But isn't the problem that the windows are tiny (with http://camera01.cs.wustl.edu) a bug?

ok, when you do "-jsconsole URL", it initially tries to do javascript console, but that doesn't take arguments (URL is an argument for jsconsole). When it realizes that, it takes URL to be the chrome. you should get the same behavior with mozilla -chrome http://camera01.cs.wustl.edu if this is a bug, it's in command-line handling

On a Linux machine I typed mozilla -chrome http://camera01.cs.wustl.edu (Cancelled the username/password dialog box) I got a tiny window.
-chrome foo means take foo and use it as chrome, the cancel causes the page to be effectively empty, there's no bug there.

Even if I type a valid Username and password the window height and width is the minimum.

I tried -chrome with a couple of web pages, and it gave very bizarre results each time. but that's not a bug - you must expect it to do bizarre things if you tell it to do bizarre things. the question is why does: mozilla -jsconsole URL try and launch the URL as chrome? when the -jsconsole doesn't take an argument, shouldn't it take the URL as a URL? apologies if i'm way off base here, or this should be a dupe of one of the other command line parsing bugs, but this seems wrong to me. confirming, and resummarising.

ok, so if the only issue here is the command line parsing, and that's covered by the other bug, then this is a dupe, right? marking as such, please thwap me if you disagree... *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 74303 ***
