Running two Firefox instances on the same computer, each one using a different account

Hi all, I used to run two Firefox instances on the same computer, each one using a different account (as I mentioned in the Subject), but I don't remember how I managed this, so now that I moved to a new computer I can't reproduce it! Thanks for helping, if anyone knows. Regards, Mike

Hey Mike,

You probably used separate Firefox profiles. Try running `firefox -P` to open the Profile Manager and create separate profiles for each account. Then you can launch them like: `firefox -P "Profile1" -no-remote` `firefox -P "Profile2" -no-remote`

That should let you run both at the same time. Hope that helps!
