Pandora as an application on Gnome using firefox

Firefox supports multiple profiles. You can create a dedicated profile for Pandora.

1. Close firefox and start it from the command prompt using

firefox -no-remote -ProfileManager

2. Create a new profile and call it Pandora

3. Customize the profile. Install the add-on "Compact Menu 2" and remove all the toolbars.

4. Make pandora.com the home page.

5. ProfileManager makes the last profile as default. Start profile manager again and select the "default" profile so that it opens your actual profile.

6. You can create a GNOME launcher now and give the following command

firefox -no-remote -P Pandora

7. Go to menu edit and add this under (say) "Sound & Video"

8. Search google images and get a PNG or SVG image for Pandora.

9. If you are using Avante-window-manager (AWM) you can add this to your launcher.

10. Enjoy the music!
