Rules

While we are not an official Mozilla community, we have adopted the Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines as far as it can be applied to a bin.

Rules

  1. Always be civil and respectful
    Don't be toxic, hostile, or a troll, especially towards Mozilla employees. This includes gratuitous use of profanity.

  2. Don't be a bigot
    No form of bigotry will be tolerated.

  3. Don't post security compromising suggestions
    If you do, include an obvious and clear warning.

  4. Don't post conspiracy theories
    Especially ones about nefarious intentions or funding. If you're concerned: Ask. Please don’t fuel conspiracy thinking here. Don’t try to spread FUD, especially against reliable privacy-enhancing software. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Show credible sources.

  5. Don't accuse others of shilling
    Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate.

  6. Do not remove your help posts after they receive replies
    Half the point of asking questions in a public sub is so that everyone can benefit from the answers—which is impossible if you go deleting everything behind yourself once you've gotten yours.

Can I get firefox to act as two separate browsers? (fedia.io)

Say I have a window of mostly music that I want to open with shortcut a, and a window of work stuff that I want to open with shortcut b. Is there anything I can do to get firefox shortcuts to remember the windows separately? I don't want to use chrome or a different browser as the second window, but that would work for specifically what I want to do.

This doesn't work with shortcuts (that I'm aware of) but there's a plugin called "Facebook Container" that sets up virtual browsers within Firefox. Session data, cookies, etc is independant between containers. And it's not just for Facebook, you can setup as many containers as you like (within reason, best to keep the number low) and when you open a link (right click) you can choose which container to open the link in. It's good for isolating web sites (e.g. so Facebook can't see what other websites you're logged into) but also allows you to log into the same website with multiple accounts. For example a personal GMail account and a Work GMail account. Check it out here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/facebook-container/
