Multiple Firefox in Windows Taskbar
  • Open Run (Winkey-R or right-click Start menu), insert "%PROGRAMFILES%\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -p, press OK, to start Firefox profile manager.
  • You may be able to run simply firefox -p. Guide is written to be robust for system differences.
  • Press "Create Profile...".
  • Press "Next".
  • Insert a profile name. It can contain spaces. Example: "Web App 1"
  • Now don't rush. It is easy to inadvertently change the default profile.
  • Press "Finish".
  • Press "Exit". If you instead pressed "Start Firefox" without unchecking "Use the selected profile without asking at startup": open Firefox profile manager again (read step 1), select your desired profile (probably "default"), enable the option "Use the selected profile [...]", press "Start Firefox", continue with the step after this.
  • Open Run, insert: "%PROGRAMFILES%\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" --no-remote -P "Web App 1"
  • Select the location field (Ctrl-L).
