I know. Launching firefox witht he -p switch will create a new
profile. I just wanted to be specific and say that I didn't want

Yep, I'm aware of this too. I don't really want to do that
either....just want to disable it once.
Hopefully that info is stored in a file that I can delete with a
script that then calls firefox. The teacher can excecutel that
instead with FL_TT.

Peter
