Hi,

I can start Firefox in different sessions by using a different profile for each:

firefox  -P default & firefox  -P g-lists &

For instance, I never login to google with my normal profile, so that even though they track me, they don't associate that tracking to an actual name.

I need to do that with Amazon, too: they have the nasty habit of emailing me about things I simply googled for.

But the problem is knowing later which window belongs to what profile. Like having a different color or tittle.

Do you have ideas for that?

As I work with a folder view desktop I have different icons to click for different browser profiles on my desktop, with the command "firefox -no-remote -P profilename". -no-remote, so that I can have several browser windows of different profiles open at the same time. The only disadvantage is that I cannot open a new window of an already open profile by clicking the icon again (it will say: is already open), but from within the browser window I can open as much windows (or tabs) of the same profile as I like. To distinguish between the browser windows I have added them very different background images in the menu part (downloaded parts of firefox styles, IIRC). So it is always clear to me in which one I am. Bookmarks, Histrory, Passwords, all is separated for each profile and thus easier to manage for me as they are topic specific. I have for general google search, one for specific google searches, had one for facebook (until they deleted me :-) ) have each one for some pages that are really nasty in tracking me, some for pages that require flash or permanent cookies. I also use different language settings and start pages, of course, in different profiles. I have one "standard profile" that I actually do not use, but where I have all my settings, add-ons etc., so that, if I want to create a new separate profile (e.g. a new gmail address...) I have a profile to copy.

Simple. In /home/yourusername/.mozilla/firefox/ The file: profiles.ini The contents (note, you do not put the *start or end* line in it, that is just to show you: *start=> [General] StartWithLastProfile=0 [Profile0] Name=default IsRelative=0 Path=/the/full/path/to_your/FIREFOX/PROFILES/Main_profile Default=1 [Profile1] Name=Google_Goofs IsRelative=0 Path=/the/full/path/to_your/FIREFOX/PROFILES/Google_profile [Profile2] Name=Amazon_Annoyances IsRelative=0 Path=/the/full/path/to_your/FIREFOX/PROFILES/Amazon_Annoyances_profile <=end* Now, whenever you run firefox without parameters, a dialogue will pop up with: Default Google_profile Amazon_Annoyances Just hit enter for your default/main profile, or select one of the other two (or 3 or 4, if you wish) and hit enter. enjoy. -- -Gerry Makaro aka Fraser_Bell on the forums, IRC, and mail at openSUSE.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

There is a plugin/addon for that. Just search for "profile" in the Addons search window. Right the first one is "Show Profile". Olaf
