Full Version: How can I run multiple Firefox.exe?

I tried opening two firefox.exe but it always become just one single .exe. A google shows that because FireFox uses profile, therefore I cannot load two processes or firefox.exe.

Anyway to get around this?

Why would you want to run 2 Firefox.exe ? Ctrl + N for a new window...

Cause if I run 3 flash games on one .exe, my MEM can use up to 1GB and it causes my firefox to be laggy. But if I take for example run one game on firefox and two games on IE then it won't lag although using the same 1GB. So I thought I can separate the firefox.exe process and run two firefox to achieve the same as 1 firefox, 1 ie.

May I ask why you want to play 3 flash games at once?

all uses shockwave and flash. hence the high memory usage.

maybe try "runas" to start firefox as a different user? You need to have multiple user accounts on the machine. The syntax would be runas /user:(username) "(in quotes, the path to firefox)".

Why not just use a different browser?

Maybe one game in Firefox, another in IE, and the last in Chrome or Opera or whatever combination.

If i click on the firefox icon multiple times, everytime I click on it I open a new session. I am running 3.0.9 for windows.
