Thanks for the tip.
I was trying many ways to do this without any success.
The trick is to copy Firefox Portable.ini for its subfolder to the root folder, and then set ‘true’ for multiple instance

I do use the -P –no-remote trick to be able to test a webpage with FF2 and FF3 at the same time, and also with different profiles (dev profile full of extensions, test profile as clean as possible). Really usefull, but I tend to get lost when having more than two different instances open. :-)

I believe there are several Firefox extensions that will allow you to do this in different tabs. For example, CookieSwap lets you switch to a different set of cookies – useful if you want to be logged in to two email accounts at once.

I’ve never needed this capability, so I can’t recommend from personal experience – maybe someone else has a better extension to recommend?
