What a legend mate! This is EXACTLY what I've been looking for all day. I tried using other browsers but I'm too used to firefox. Thanks for the vid man

What if I'm using a mac?

[billpg]

I'm afriad I don't know how to do it on a Mac or Linux. Sorry.

If you know how to add an icon or a program menu with additional command line options, I'd be very surprised if those editions of Firefox didn't use the same -no-remote, -ProfileManager and -P options.

The best answer would be if the Firefox people put the profile manager into the Tools menu, rather than hiding it away behind an obscure command line option. But that's a grumble for another day.

PS. If anyone knows of a good website or video which shows how to do this on a Mac or Linux, please PM me and I'll put a link in the description.

Apple has a program to do this. It cost $1,500.

Or just run windows in your mac

;)

Once you go mac you have to come back

Cool stuff, Great video, but we solved that problem by putting Cindy on Firefox and me on Safari. I typically do all my phekwig stuff, switch accounts once in a session, and then do what I can on the fehquig channel...
