I'd be interested in that too. Sure. It has to do with firefox profilemanager and the capability to have different profiles. You can start that with the command line: firefox --profilemanager (firefox 3) firefox-2 --profilemanager (firefox 2) Let's say I've called the first one "profile4ff3" and the other one "profile4ff2", I've then created two launchers, they can be on the desktop, in the menu or wherever that is possible. Launcher for FF3: Name: Firefox 3 Command: firefox -profile /home/username/.mozilla/firefox/profile4ff3 Launcher for FF2: Name: Firefox 2 Command: firefox-2 -profile /home/username/.mozilla/firefox/profile4ff2 I have also changed one of the icons so that they can be identified more easily. The reason I have done this is because FF3 used to make a mess of my extention when used with the FF2 profile. I did already talked about this from Message-Id: <<a href="mailto:200805022001.50124.lanzenesi@gmail.com">200805022001.50124.lanzenesi@gmail.com</a>> onwards. -- lanzen -- kubuntu-users mailing list <a href="mailto:kubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com">kubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com</a> Modify settings or unsubscribe at: <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-users" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-users</a> </blockquote></div>
