No idea why you start an application you always want NOT from InitFunction

But it should not matter. I sometimes have to kill my browser and then I 
restart it from a terminal, and goes straight to the desktop my .fvmrc 
(refer to my previous mail) designates for browsers,

I even tried now starting firefox (not my palemoon browser which I left 
running) with /usr/bin/firefox & and it went straight to the desktop 
designates for browsers (due to the vestigial style).

If you are concerned of the runtime messages the browser may issue while 
running (is that why you redirect stderr ?), also palemoon has that 
problem when started from a terminal. But I simply kill such terminal to 
get rid of them !
