As I understand it, I can create two profiles in Firefox and then open Firefox
with:
-no-remote -P "Profile1"
-no-remote -P "Profile2"
And have two instances of FF running with different profiles. That appears to
work, but when I click a link in my email (Thunderbird) then either I get a
message saying that FF is already running, Close or Cancel (if both instances
are running) or if only one instance is running, then the link opens the other
instance.
Is there a way to set one to be a primary instance?
Thane,
the '-no-remote' is your problem. it says a remote application can't issue an
openurl call to that instance.
You're looking for the '-new-instance' on the activation of the two of those.
then either can accept an openurl remote call.
(that's probably not what you want, though -- so likely only have -no-remote on
one of them?)
The alternative is changing thunderbird to make explicit calls to a THIRD
profile instance:
firefox -P thunderbird-ffox %u
that way it won't affect the other two running profiles.
