Hi

I tried to open a new FF window but with a special profile.

I have a main FF instance running, using the default profile.

Let's say I open a new instance using no-remote option like this :

firefox -no-remote -P "prism" http://www.mozilla.org

Now I want to open a new window using the prism profile. CTRL+N works, but I need it from the CLI. Something like this :

firefox -new-window -P "prism" http://www.newurl.com

But it doesn't works, it tries to launch a new process, which fail : I already have a process running.

Thanks for your help

Using -no-remote allows you to open another instance of firefox. Once that is running you may open new windows from within Firefox.

You may not run yet another instance of Firefox from a profile that is in use, Firefox locks the profile. Using a plain Firefox from the CLI whilst Firefox is open will open a new Firefox window in the profile in use so use

Hi John

Well the thing is, in that case, it opens a new window with the default profile, not the "prism" one. Because I have 2 instance of FF running : 1 with default profile, 1 with prism profile. No way to "force" ff to use the prism profile

This seems a rather odd use case, why not just set "prism" as the default.

I think if you do not set any browser as a default then the last version opened is effectively the default with the chosen profile.

So if your ordinary Firefox is not actually set as default, you should be able to open that, then using no remote open the "prism" profile firefox, with that being the one that opens repeatedly.
