Hey,

I think this was discussed before, but maybe some new developments took place in the meantime.
I like to have different browsers with different configurations, sometimes (many times in fact) running at the same time. I used to do this using Abrowser, Tor Browser and Firefox running in parallel but I dislike that solution. Tor Browser is a must, but I would like to have Abrowser running multiple instances, kinda like in portable mode similar to Tor Browser (and even Firefox, which I can download from Mozilla and run in "portable mode"). Is it possible? I searched and couldn't find anything for it.
Creating a different profile inside Abrowser is not very good because I want to run different ones concurrently. So it would require (I think) a separate configuration folder, a separate window running, etc.

Thanks in advance!

Anything that applies to Firefox should work with Abrowser too:
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/CommandLineOptions
I think you'd want to check out 1.3.5, 1.3.8, 1.3.9, and 1.3.10 at the very least.

Hum... that looks interesting, I didn't know about this! Usually only downloaded the Firefox for linux, extracted and run the browser. I didn't know these command line options existed. It seems to be a possible way to do what I need yes... I will look further into it and report back. Thanks a bunch Jason!

Thanks. Yes, that's the solution I ended up using (though the documentation linked by Jason was very helpful indeed).

If the goal is only to separate your browsing activities: https://support.mozilla.org/kb/how-use-firefox-containers

Thanks!
It was actually more in line with what Jason provided, using Profiles to have different addons, bookmarks, themes, etc.
I have it working now, thanks.
