Multiple profile + no blocking instance

I'm a developer working on Linux, and I have 2 profiles: Nav (normal Navigation) and Dev (Developer profile). I haven't found a way to run those profiles independently and in a NO BLOCKING way.

I mean... I run Nav, then Dev and I want to see them opening in separate windows. Then run again Nav and Dev they BOTH must not say "there is another instance....", they must open again (in a new window or reusing the existing).

The solution with -no-remote isn't OK, because it blocks the opening of 2nd instance.

Basically I must have 2 Firefox icons and, at any time, clicking one icon must always open the right profile independently from what is already opened. I don't care if it opens a new tab or window.

Regards, Rik

Uhm... great idea! Could really be a solution. I didn't even remember of it. Basically should be like using another browser so there shouldn't be any collision. I'm going to try. I'll tell you if it works.

Yes it works! :-) With Netbeans I also had to change the parameters from -remote "openURL({URL})" to -new-tab {URL} otherwise openURL() reuse in any case the first Firefox available (the last instance opened) even if I tell him to open /opt/ffdev/firefox instead of /usr/bin/firefox

So now it's all OK. Thanks a lot! Rik
