| Mar 20, 2020 at 22:02 | comment | added | historystamp | I believe there is a way to run several copies of app, generally, by making copies of the app. I got an error with firefox. Maybe if you use a different profile in the command line, you would have success. You select what profile you want to by starting firefox from the command line. developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Command_Line_Options command line options: /Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox --help | |

| Mar 20, 2020 at 8:53 | comment | added | Alex | I need two instances of firefox running. Like in one window (the thing I can change position with, with the red-yellow-green dots on the upper left) a firefox instance with profile1 is running, and in a different window a firefox instance with profile2 is running. At the same time. | |
