When starting firefox from a shell-prompt, an already existing firefox instance will be re-used for the new web page instead of opening a new window. This is very unconvenient, since I often leave browser-windows open so I can read it at a later time. I have followed the instructions described on http://www.mozilla.org/support/firefox/tips#beh_reuse, but thisdid not help. Any idea what I am doing wrong here?
I think you can get the result you want by a different method entirely: opening up another window within Firefox itself. Control-T does the trick, and you can then go to an unrelated (or related) location in that second window. The tabs at the top let you switch between Firefox windows quite handily - you'll see them once you've opened the second window. Paul
