186406 - Request ability to start multiple sessions for Mozilla

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 40109

(SeaMonkey :: General, enhancement)

Description

[William Stockall]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.0.0) Gecko/20020530
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.0.0) Gecko/20020530

This doesn't apply to any specific page.  I would like to be able to launch a
second process of Mozilla or at least a second thread with its own private
session information (ie cookies, history).  This would allow me to view the same
site in two different browser windows without worrying about messing up session
information from one window to the other.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Find a site that uses cookies for keeping state
2. Open a browser window to that site and browse around a bit
3. Open a second browser window to the same site and take a different path than
the first window

Actual Results:  
Usually this will result in the second window either sharing or destrying the
session information from the first window.

Expected Results:  
I would like to see the second window be completely independent of the first or
at least be able to create a second independent window.  A second independent
tab would be even better, but a second independent window would work.

What happens if you actually start a second instance of Mozilla?

You can't because Mozilla will open only a new window
