When firefox is started up, it keeps one profile locked. If you want to run two firefox's, you'll have to run the other with a different profile. Like so: firefox -p "other profile" The downside of this is, of course, that you have a different profile. You'll have different settings/history/bookmarks etc. Apart from this trick, I really don't know how you would be able to do it. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
