i've set up a scheduled task of items to do everyday that start at 8am. i would like to keep this open all day in a window, keeping it separate from standard web browsing, so when i close the browser this stays open. basically one browser shows tasks and the other is all other web pages. i know i can close tabs individually with a warning but would like to just keep this on it's own page.

You can open that window as a separate process, but you would have to do the same with any new windows.

Usage: C:\PROGRA~1\MOZILL~1\firefox.exe [ options ... ] [URL]

      where options include:
 -h or -help        Print this message.
 -v or -version     Print Firefox version.
 -P <profile>       Start with <profile>.
 -migration         Start with migration wizard.
 -ProfileManager    Start with ProfileManager.
 -no-remote         Do not accept or send remote commands; implies -new-instance.

-new-instance Open new instance, not a new window in running instance.

 -UILocale <locale> Start with <locale> resources as UI Locale.
 -safe-mode         Disables extensions and themes for this session.
 -console           Start Firefox with a debugging console.
 -jsconsole         Open the Error console.
 -browser           Open a browser window.
 -new-window  <url> Open <url> in a new window.
 -new-tab     <url> Open <url> in a new tab.
 -preferences       Open Options dialog.

 -setDefaultBrowser Set this app as the default browser.

Note: I use Windows Task Scheduler to open Firefox.
