Selenium: How to stop RemoteRunner.html from getting invoked

Question

Hi,

I am using selenium for one for my Java applications on linux. The application invokes a mozilla browser, fills login details (username and password), and then submits the form. I am able to achieve this using selenium, but every time a url is selected 2 instances of mozilla is getting invoked. One instance is that of the url selected and the other instance is a RemoteRunner.html which has selenium command history and other details.

I don't want this page to be invoked. Is there a way to stop this page from getting invoked?

Thanks and Regards, Sunil.

The RemoteRunner window is required as it is controlling the application under test within the other window. You can run Selenium in a single window using the command line option multiWindow=false however this uses frames, which can sometimes cause issues with the application under test.
