How set up multiple homepages to open in a separate window (not a tab) when desired...
I would like to setup and be able to click on a Firefox profile (I assume profile) or pass parameters to the firefox.exe and have firefox open about 6 separate windows (not tabs) set to different home pages.
If I use the Pipe Symbol in Options, it will open separate tabs but also ause the probelm below which I also would like to solve.
A lot of times I also want to run another instance of firefox by clicking on the Firefox icon in my quick launch tray and DO NOT want it to open up all of these sites again.
How is this best achieved? In the past I just opened up each site individually in its own window.
Thanks very much Peter

You can create multiple shortcuts on the desktop and include the URL to the command line and use the -new-window switch to specify a new window.
You need to use the -new-window switch for each URL (-new-window URL1 -new-window URL2).
If the command line gets to long then you need to use a CMD file to store the full command line (start "" firefox.exe -new-window etc.).

Thanks I noticed I had to use a START command whether in a cmd or bat file. It then opened up a DOS window (I can tolerate) which then ran firefox in separate windows with multiple homepages as desired.
I assume I could do this with a profile as well but this will work well.
Thanks Peter
You're welcome.
Via the home page setting, you can only do this for tabs and not windows.
You can set the shortcut to open the cmd file to open minimized to avoid getting the CMD/DOS window.
Great, got it Thanks, you have been very helpful. Peter
