Test Case Description for: -quiet and -nosplash

Author: Sarah Liberman

Purpose:

Test the -quiet and -nosplash command-line features. This is for Win32 systems only.

Initial Conditions:

  1. Make sure there's no instance of Mozilla running.
  2. Open up a command prompt/shell window: eg, you could use the Command Prompt feature to open a window.
  3. Make sure you're in the directory which contains the executables:
    • For Win32 Mozilla, this will be the <install_dir>/bin/ folder.
    • For Win32 Netscape 6, this will be the <install_dir>/Netscape 6/ folder
  4. Note. If testing the commercial build, replace mozilla with netscp6
  5. Note. If you have more than one profile, the Select User Profile dialog will appear after you issue the command. Simply select one of them, then click Start Mozilla (or, Start Netscape 6).
