I made this script to open three HTML files in Firefox from a subdirectory:
#!/bin/bash
firefox ./web/*.html 2>/dev/null & disown;
I call the bash script from the terminal. Which seems to work okay, but after doing some things in Firefox I have this message in the terminal:
$ [GFX1-]: RenderCompositorSWGL failed mapping default framebuffer, no dt
...which I then have to abort with Ctrl-C. Shouldn't
disown
and 2>/dev/null
have taken care of that? Is there a better way for me to do this?
FWIW, I'm using Linux Mint 21.1 and the latest Firefox.
