Summary: Luser Request: Command-line addressing of multiple browser windows
Perhaps there are logical and enduring reasons to deny this request, and perhaps
I am absurd in making it, considering that I type from the Windoze platform...
but:
I have always desired, while using this mutant OS, to wield a greater puissance
over the environment with the command-line. As such, I've this notion: Would it
not be helpful to possess the ability to open multiple instances of the browser,
and address specific windows (1, 2, etc.) with a command such as a URL? I might
expand on this blatant wishfulness, but I'd rather allow others to comment on
it's feasibility, first.
This request is somewhat related to Bug 4778, I should judge (although, as ego
compels me to add, it predates the reading of it).

Don -- I'm letting you have this feature request because it's much more related
to your work than mine.

This feature could be very useful for applications that use Mozilla for online
help, e.g.

mozilla -browsername dummyHelp -chrome whatever -url myhelpfile

So that if the help window is already open, the url is opened into the same window.
