exec another instance of firefox without create another profile
 
Hello to everybody! If a session of firefox is open, how I can exec another instance of firefox without use another profile? The problem is that if a session of firefox is open and by console I exec firefox again, it will ask me to select another profile...

It has remote access like mozilla - see:

that's ok!
 
tanks for all! I've found there the solution!

I modified and used the same script wrote to open web links from firefox:

#!/bin/sh

export MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME="/opt/firefox/"

url="$1"
if [ "x$url" = "x" ]; then
url="about:blank"
fi

if $MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME/mozilla-xremote-client openURL\("$url, new-window"\); then
exit 0
fi
exec $MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME/firefox "$url"
