I’d like to hear how others test their FF/Chromium installation? I use the -test option from command line >>Browser -test or Firefox -test to see how my GPU is performing. You might be surprised at the number of errors that never make it to the syslogs.
To prevent FireFox from just adding tabs or having unexpected behavior. I created a profile and added the -P option to load the tabs in a separate profile. This keeps it in its own window as well. Try this
Create Profile2 then
xargs -a url.txt firefox -P “KGroup” -new-tab “$line”
I use the -search option but it opens a new window. Is it possible to make use the current window instead?
