Sometimes at work I need to do specific tasks through a very locked down proxy. At the moment I tend to keep a separate Firefox window with Firefox network settings, and the sites that I use through the proxy. But what I'd really like to be able to do is just apply the settings to that window. I believe Chrome has the option to open separate instances of the browser. Is there a similar option for Firefox? That way I could still look up information in a different window while having my proxy connection open for my work windows. I'm tired of toggling my network settings.

1. You can use the FoxyProxy extension. 2. You can also create a separate profiles and use it simultaneously.
