If I restart iceweasel/firefox or if I press the Home button I want it to open my current homepage not the gmail or google reader.

To fix this you need to tell bash to run the process in the background. This is done using the & command. Here\'s the script re-written in one. <code>#! /bin/sh firefox http://mail.google.com/ & sleep 30; firefox -new-tab http://www.google.com/reader</code> When you run firefox for the first time it doesn\’t return control to bash like it does when you run the firefox command while another window is open.

Isn't using shell scripts like this kinda redundant?
