Can some configure options be given like that? This is quite
interesting. Never tried that.

If you mean the solution is like opening a GUI terminal, and then 'su
user1', x-server does not allow to open another display. At least this
is what happens on Ubuntu. Even su into root, and then as root, 'su
user1' too does not allow it. 

For checking Bangla webpages with different settings, once I used
another way. Going to a virtual terminal, with ctrl-alt-f*, and then,
after logging in as 'user1', 'startx -- :1' will start another x-server,
as user1. This then allows to use firefox, obviously with another cache
and all, as you suggested. These multiple x-servers can increase to six,
with :2, :3, so on, obviously if your system has a quite big RAM.
