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?

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.
just how does that answer the OP's stated problem? <quote> But the problem is knowing later which window belongs to what profile.
