I want to run two or more firefox processes under the same user at the same time

My setup: A laptop running Fedora 20 and Gnome 3. I would really like to have a Firefox window on the laptop screen, and at the same time another one on the VNC client I am running on another computer. Both under the same user account.
Closing one of the firefox windows is a very poor solution, as I would lose all the tabs I opened, in addition to the hassle.
Is that possible at all? If yes, how? And if not, can you suggest workarounds?

You can use the -no-remote command line switch to open another Firefox instance with its own profile and run different Firefox instances simultaneously, but do not use -no-remote to start the default browser with the default profile.

  • My laptop running XP sp3 and FireFox 3.6 died. I salvaged the HD and put it in a drive enclosure. I bought a new Win7 machine and wish to import my old favorites (I don't have a backup, but the Favorites folder on the old HD is intact).

    My laptop running XP sp3 and FireFox 3.6 died. I salvaged the HD and put it in a drive enclosure. I bought a new Win7 machine and wish to import my old favorites (I don't have a backup, but the Favorites folder on the old HD is intact). I have not been able to determine how to import these favorites from the old HD to the new machine. I haven't found any FAQ that addresses this since I can't really start Firefox on the old HD in order to make a HTML backup. Any ideas? edit

  • How can I import Firefox bookmarks, now stored in User folder on same (new) PC, into Firefox?

    How can I import Firefox bookmarks, now stored in User folder on same (new) PC, into Firefox? I have exported the Firefox bookmarks from my old PC into a [Windows 8] folder on my new PC.
    When I use the Firefox import facility, it will only import one bookmark at a time - and then it bookmarks all the main pages on the bookmarked website, not just the one which I originally bookmarked. It also does not import the information stored in the bookmark tag.

    Sure thing.
    # Open the run dialog by holding the Windows key and pressing R
    # Type <code>%appdata%</code> into the run window and press ok
    # Open the ''Mozilla'' folder
    # Open the ''Firefox'' folder
    # Open the ''Profiles'' folder
    # Copy the folder that is located in this folder to a USB drive
    # Install and run Firefox on the new computer
    # Close Firefox
    # Repeat steps 1 to 5 on the new computer
    # Open the folder that you copied from the old computer
    # Copy the contents of that folder into the folder located inside of the new computer's profile folder
    # Allow Windows to replace any duplicate folders with the ones that you are copying onto the computer is prompted

  • Running two (or more) conky's

    Is there a way to get multiple conky's up on my desktop?  what I would like to accomplish is have my current conky (showing system resources and whatnot) in the upper right with the output of /var/messages/messages.log running in the upper left hand corner.  my first guess is that I just need to make a second .conkyrc file, but can conky read 2 files? or do I have to have two instances of conky running?

    O.K. tried that, but now it's flickering back and forth between the two conky's  here are my two .conkyrc files:

  • Want to run two 30" cinema displays from Mac Pro

    I'm running Avid Media Composer software to edit a film that I made, and I would like to run (if possible) two Apple 30" cinema displays next to each other off of my Mac Pro (the computer was purchased at end of 2009). While editing with Avid software, I like to spread out my work and bins in able to see everything, and strange as it may sound, I'd like more room than one 30" display can provide. Currently, I have one Apple 30" Cinema display in use, and could purchase another large display if I can find out-- definitively, if my Mac Pro computer will be able to handle it and power it effectively. I realize that Apple doesn't sell the 30" displays anymore, but I saw a few relatively inexpensive ones available on Craigslist recently.
    The second monitor that I'm using now is a much older (non-Mac) monitor (and smaller) and the resolutions don't match the high resolution of my single Apple 30" display. So, my reason for wanting a second, larger display are twofold... 1) to see more of my work, and 2) to get the highest resolutions to match (2560x).
    The ports on the back of the Mac Pro don't look like they will support the use of a second 30" display, just one. Does anyone have any suggestions?
    Do I need to purchase another video card to run a second 30" Apple display? If so, which ones are best/do you suggest?
    Do I need to upgrade my processing speed (get a faster processor) to run two large, high-rez monitors?
    specs:
    Mac Pro
    10.6.6
    Processor: 2 x 2.8 GHz
    Memory: 2 GB
    800 MHz DDRZ FB-DIMM
    Quad-Core Intel Xem
    Purchased end of 2009

    If it has two DVI ports, just plug in the second display with an additional Dual-Link DVI cable -- the card can run both displays without issue.
    If it has one DVI and one other type, Exactly which display card do you have installed?

  • How to run two or more reports in parallel?

    Hi,
    Scenario:
    I have created three report programs. After the first report is processed, I prepare a selection parameter based on the result  and call the other two programs simultaneously by using the SUBMIT command.
    Issue:
    As the other two programs are completely independent, I want the these to run in parallel and return the result set.
    Can anybody suggest how do I achieve this?
    Regards
    s@k

    Dear Radhika,
    Thanks..:)
    To add to the problem, after the first program is processed and I get the result, I prepare a selection parameter table. This
    table I pass to the other two programs as shown:
    Program 2:
      SUBMIT <program_name> AND RETURN
              USER sy-uname
              WITH SELECTION-TABLE lt_params_1.
    Program 3:
      SUBMIT <program_name> AND RETURN
              USER sy-uname
              WITH SELECTION-TABLE lt_params_2.
    As suggested by you, I have checked for the job options. I found that i need to call the function modules in the order as
    1. JOB_OPEN
    2. JOB_SUBMIT
    3. JOB_CLOSE
    The question is how do i pass the selection parameter table in the FM JOB_SUBMIT? I can see there is a report parameter but how do I pass the table to it
    Can you please suggest.
    Regards
    s@k

  • My mac has slow performance when running two or more applications, ran onyx and cleaned cache but my macbook is still running slow. Recommendations?

    I've had my MacBook White running on Mac OSx 10 for about 2 years. My sister has the same type of MacBook and she isn't having any slow performance. I really don't want to install RAM and that can't be the end all be all of solutions. Please help!!

    Kappy's Personal Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
    For disk repairs use Disk Utility.  For situations DU cannot handle the best third-party utilities are: Disk Warrior;  DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.x is now Intel Mac compatible. TechTool Pro provides additional repair options including file repair and recovery, system diagnostics, and disk defragmentation.  TechTool Pro 4.5.1 or higher are Intel Mac compatible;  Drive Genius is similar to TechTool Pro in terms of the various repair services provided.  Versions 1.5.1 or later are Intel Mac compatible.
    OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep.  Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts had been significantly reduced in Tiger and Leopard.  These utilities have limited or no functionality with Snow Leopard and should not be installed.
    OS X automatically defragments files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems.
    I would also recommend downloading the shareware utility TinkerTool System that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old logfiles and archives, clearing caches, etc.  Other utilities are also available such as Onyx, Leopard Cache Cleaner, CockTail, and Xupport, for example.
    For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack.  If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the commandline.  Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard.
    When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand. I also recommend booting into safe mode before doing system software updates.
    Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
    Backuplist
    Carbon Copy Cloner
    Data Backup
    Deja Vu
    iBackup
    JaBack
    Silver Keeper
    MimMac
    Retrospect
    Super Flexible File Synchronizer
    SuperDuper!
    Synchronize Pro! X
    SyncTwoFolders
    Synk Pro
    Synk Standard
    Tri-Backup
    Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on maintenance, optimization, virus protection, and backup and restore.
    Additional suggestions will be found in Mac Maintenance Quick Assist.

  • I seem to be running two versions of firefox at the same time help!

    I seem to be running an older version and a new version of firefox at the same time. I run the new version from startup (it forgets previous tabs from last session) and this sadly does not let me use back and forward arrow buttons so its a bit useless. Strangely when I pop an email window up, the older version of firefox appears with the last few tabs I had browsed.
    disabling plugins stops browser starting in new version and back and forward arrows work ok.
    any help much appreciated!

    You can install them both but there are a few steps to take.
    When you install Firefox 4 use the custom installation option and choose a different location to install Firefox.
    In order to use both versions, you need to create a new profile for Firefox 4 (Firefox stores user data in the profile). Using the same profile with different versions can cause problems. Once you create a new profile you can copy certain data such as bookmarks and passwords between them. You can also use Firefox Sync to keep the profiles synchronized. Finally, you will need to set up shortcuts to launch the correct profile for each version.
    The following links show how to do this:
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Creating_a_new_Firefox_profile_on_Windows
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Shortcut_to_a_specific_profile
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox
    * https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/firefox-sync (only needed for Firefox 3.6, it is built into Firefox 4)

  • How to run two instances of weblogic server as an NT service on the same machine

    I have to have two instances, one I want to use it for development(testing
    purposes) and the other one I need to use it as a live one(Production)
    So that I can test my applications independently without disturbing the live
    application.
    Thanks

    I can start one instance as an NT service, but the other instance, I have to
    start with the command. I need to run as an NT service because I need to
    use NTRealm

    I have created a new domain , server listening to different port.

    But if you wish to do so, you can create multiple domains under the
    same installation, say one for dev and one for prod. On the same
    machine make sure they listen on different ports. This, of course,
    ties you to the same version for development and production - making
    it impossible to upgrade just one.
    You may be able to do two completely different installations (i.e.
    different BEA HOMEs) on the same machine - I haven't tried this but it
    looks possible. This would mean you could upgrade each separately. The
    presence of BEAHOMELIST in the registry on NT seems to indicate this
    should work.

  • Can two or more place comments on a pdf file at the same time?

    We use SharePoint to place pdf files for our team members to open and comment and review.  Until recently we have not had any issues with two or more opening the same pdf at the same time and placing comments.  But now we are losing some of the comments.  Please advise.

    I've seen changes I've made on my iPad show up on the same document that's been open all the time on my Mac, which suggests it might be possible. However, I've also had a small number of notifications that documents on different devices are not in sync with each other. So while it might have the potential to work, I'd be inclined to think it would be quite unreliable.

  • Running two displays from MBP Retina under windows

    I'm looking at purchasing a MBP Retina 13".  I have two external monitors that can accept HDMI and DVI (neither can do displayport).  Some software that I run requires me to sometimes boot into windows.  Under windows 7, can I output a DVI signal from each of my thunderbolt ports?  Do I just need to run two mini-displayport to DVI adapters?  Or is not that simple?  (both external monitors are 1900x1080)

    Hi,
    read the documentation:

  • I want to run a task 15 days after i disable a user

    Hi,
    I am disbling a user , after 15 days if the user is still disabled i want to delete the user.
    I want to try and achieve this using process tasks, without using a scheduler and comparing every user.
    Any good ideas. Please help.

    As a general rule read SQL is fine, write SQL should really be avoided. Sql Delete should be avoided at all costs as it destroys the internal consistency of your OIM db.
    Depending on the size of the user population findusers API might be too slow. We did an implementation of a similar task against a user population of about 120 000 last year and in that case we ended up using an SQL read instead of the APIs. It all depends on the size of your user population and your performance requirements.
    Good luck
