I don't know about what you mean by "passing parameters from a remote system to my machine" or what that might entail. Screenshots are too blurred to read for me.

You can launch multiple Firefox Profiles by using the '-no-remote command line switch for the 2nd and subsequent Firefox Profile that is opened.

As far as your screenshots, how about posting images that are in focus? See this support article to learn how to do screenshots thru the keyboard & Paint in Windows or maybe using the "Sniping Tool" in Vista and later. And how to use Firefox Screenshots.

It is best to use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot and make sure that you do not exceed a maximum file size of 1 MB.

Then use the Browse .... button below the Post a Reply text box to upload the screenshot.

You would have to use separate profiles for each instance if you won't or can't open a new window in the same Firefox instance.
