"ed independent sessions. Then create a shortcut to Firefox.exe on your desktop or quickbar for each profile you made. Right click the icon for each shortcut and open the properties window. In the Target field you need to specify which profile to use when launching Firefox like this – “F:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe” -P “ProfileA”"
Run separate sessions in different Firefox windows
"Then browsing around yesterday, I discovered this little known environment variables - MOZ_NO_REMOTE - that makes this magic happen. Therefore, there’s two ingredients to getting this to work.
1. Firefox profiles
2. MOZ_NO_REMOTE
To make multiple profiles for Firefox, simply run “Firefox.exe -P” from a command line. This opens up the Profile Manager. Create as many profiles that you feel you’ll need independent sessions. Then create a shortcut to Firefox.exe on your desktop or quickbar for each profile you made. Right click the icon for each shortcut and open the properties window. In the Target field you need to specify which profile to use when launching Firefox like this - “F:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe” -P “ProfileA”
Then just create a new environment variable MOZ_NO_REMOTE with a value of 1.
Then you can click each Firefox icon and you’ll have a seperate session for each of your browser windows. Have fun."
