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?

Hi berndbausch, Have you used Firefox Sync? Tabs are synced accross computers and found in about:sync-tabs or History > Tabs from other devices.
Is this what you want?

Multifox is an extension that allows Firefox to connect to websites using different user names. Simultaneously!
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.

Thanks! All three suggestions look like they could at least partially solve my problem or work around it; I will try them out.
