I keep an iceweasel process open but iconized (lowered) all the time.
When I open a site as follows

iceweasel -remote openurl\(http:blah.html\)

it raises the iceweasel window to the foreground. (-new-tab does the
same.) Is there a setting I can change so that iceweasel will remain
iconized? I am running iceweasel 3.0.6-3 on Etch. I use the fvwm window
manager, not KDE or Gnome.

You may wonder why I want this. There is a site that I like to check in on
at various random times throughout the day. If I don't connect there for
awhile, it logs me off. So I run a background shell that reopens it once an
hour with -remote so that I'm still logged in again when I get around to
checking the site. In general I don't want the browser window popping up
every time that happens. Whether or not the window is raised has varied over
the years with different systems I've used.

Thanks.

In iceweasel, go to the URL 'about:config'. Try toggling the preference
'browser.tabs.loadInBackground'.

I just tried that without success. The new tab is raised with either setting
there. Thanks.

Perhaps ReloadEvery would not raise the tab:

Dne, 09. 01. 2010 18:50:33 je Steve Kleene napisal(a):

Two workarounds come to mind:
- if your session is not cookie-based, you could try to keep logged in
by re-requesting the page with wget or a similar command-line tool at
regular intervals;
- or you could install devilspie and try fiddling with the settings. I
don't know how (if at all) devilspie will work in fvwm, though. In
Gnome it works quite well.

Of course, both the above workarounds are just that -- workarounds ...
