I use F/F in a gaming situation I needed to be able to run more than one session at a time and read about a feature called multiple profiles. Then I read iin another forum that I could have multiple instances with the following bat file :

@echo off set MOZ_NO_REMOTE=1 start "" "C:\Documents and Settings\Hilton Wiggins\My Documents\Fire Fox non Beta\firefox.exe" -p-no-remote set MOZ_NO_REMOTE=0 I also have the Beta 4.06 on my machine and even though the batch file directs it to wither the Beat or the Non Beta they both seem to track the profiles and can be used in either version. However It's not working as I described running two browsers with grease monkey it will start to mis handle data and they both lock up

There is no need to set MOZ_NO_REMOTE, remove that part of the bat file. Change the start line to:

start "" "C:\Documents and Settings\Hilton Wiggins\My Documents\Fire Fox non Beta\firefox.exe" -no-remote -p "profile name"

Each version that you start needs its own profile folder.
