Yes. Unless you start Fx with the '-noremote' command.

Modify your Fx command by: right-click Applications, select Edit Menus,
go to Internet & click on the Firefox icon, click Properties. In the
'Command' box at the very end of the command add: -noremote. That's
space dashnoremote. You'll then be able to start multiple instances of
Fx in the same or multiple workspaces. When you close one it won't close
the others.
