BryanChung Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 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?

Nicholas-c Veteran Posted April 29, 2009 Veteran Share Posted April 29, 2009 Why would you want to run 2 Firefox.exe ? Ctrl + N for a new window...

BryanChung Posted April 29, 2009 Author Share Posted April 29, 2009 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.

agreenbhm Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 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)".

i_was_here Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 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.
