Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 117222

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Steve Leung]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7b) Gecko/20040421
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7b) Gecko/20040421

When I use IE, I can start two IE instance with or without session sharing. For
instance, share session data can be done by File->New Window. Without share
seesion data can be done by Program File->Internet Explorer.
However, mozilla seems share the session data all the times. I can't create two
instance without sharing data. 
Problem is: If I have two login user ID on the same web site and I need to
concurrent login the web site with two different user ID. I can't do that with
mozilla.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open browser and Login to mail.yahoo.com with ID1.
2. Open a new mozilla browser by Program File->Mozilla->Mozilla
3. browse to mail.yahoo.com.
4. The session data already shared in the second browser, can't login with
another name.

Actual Results:  
Can't do concurrent login and browse entire website

Expected Results:  
Behaviour should like Internet Explorer or old Communicator Navigator 4.x
version. I can control when to share session data. 

I will expected that I can share session data between two browser like the IE or
old type of Navigator.

This is a dup of the "all mozilla windows run in the same process" bug.

I'm using FireFox 0.9.1

i'm positive this used to work for me.. but it isn't now. i also expect to not
share session information across 2 instances of moz if i execute the .exe twice.

i agree with boris, this is most probably a side effect of running all moz
windows under the one process (if you launch moz twice, theres still only one
firebird.exe running), but surely the session information does not have to be
shared even if running under the same process.. isn't that a gecko property and
not a firebird.exe property? do all windows share the gecko instance? anyway,
this is definitly a regression.
