Unfortunately Firefox can not share the same data store on the very same 
user/same computer but different screens. Escpthialy on a two screen two 
desktop environment.

On another setup like /home on a file server. You can't leav firefox 
open on one workstation open and open firefox on another workstation 
because your home has already a firefox lock file.

The real solution would be to have an independant data store that would 
enable full roaming as well. (just a dream).
