It would be nice to have the ability to run multiple browsers that are independent of each other on the same desktop as the same user but Chrome and Firefox keep their context on a per user basis.
Firefox supports multiple user profiles and you can run separate browser instances concurrently using separate profiles. Look into the profile manager - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profile-manager- create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
You can invoke multiple named profiles from the commandline too, but I don't recall the syntax.
Good point. I've had mysterious crashes disappear after creating a new profile in Firefox and Thunderbird. Regards, Clifford Ilkay +1 647-778-8696
