You can write what is called a wrapper script
1. create an alias for mozilla in .bashrc or your profile:
Code:
alias mozilla='/path/to/myscript.sh'
This covers you for executing mozilla from inside a script or a command line
2. Make sure the desktop uses that alias or script name also.
3. Write a script:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
# this is /path/to/myscript.sh
# do stuff you want here:
# now run the real mozilla here:
/path/to/the/real/mozilla [options]
