Don't use the shortcut. Choose "New Window" on the File menu. Presumably, Firefox doesn't want two independent invocations modifying the data in your profile in possibly conflicting ways.

here is another script to open a new window for linux. Just change FBDIR so its correct and save the script in the firebird folder. The its just to call the script as many times as you want. I made an icon calling the script.

The homepage does not apper using remote but thats not a problem for me.

Change "xfeDoCommand(openBrowser)" to "openURL($@,new-tab)" if you want tabs instead of windows.


#!/bin/bash

FBNUM=`ps -A | grep -c firefox-bin`
FBDIR=/usr/lib/firefox/

if [[ FBNUM -eq 0 ]]
then
$FBDIR/firefox &
else
$FBDIR/firefox -remote "xfeDoCommand(openBrowser)" &
fi
fi
