Chatzilla standalone how-to

If you put the Chatzilla plugin for Firefox into a process separate from your main browser, you can alt+tab to get there. Here’s the command line I use for that:

/Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox-bin -chat -quiet -no-remote -P "IRC" &

    It seems that I can’t run ChatZilla in parallel to Firefox this way however, unless I use a separate profile for it, since Firefox complains that I cannot use two instances of the same profile. I’m using FF 3.5.7 and CZ 0.9.86 on Windows XP.

    Carsten, the need for a separate profile is what the -P “IRC” argument should be addressing.
