Bug 11641: change TBB command line flags to be more like Firefox's
Unless the -osint command line flag is used, the browser now defaults to the equivalent of -no-remote. There is a new -allow-remote flag that may be used to restore the original (Firefox-like) default behavior. --- toolkit/xre/nsAppRunner.cpp | 21 ++++++++++++++++----- 1 file changed, 16 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-)
