What should i do to run multiple instances of Firefox? I mean whenever I click on the firefox to start a new window, it asks me to create a new profile. I use Firefox 1.0.6 on Cent OS 4.
Me too...
$ rpm -q firefox firefox-1.0.6-1.4.1.centos4.i386
When I click on the icon (in KDE - I don't do GNOME) I get a new window, which either starts a new instance of firefox if one does not exist, or attaches to an existing one with mozilla-xremote-client. This should be handled by the shell-script wrapper /usr/bin/firefox. Where does the Properties/Application/Command field for the icon point? (YMMV for GNOME) Mine just has "firefox" and "which firefox" returns /usr/bin/firefox. Sounds like you may be getting the binary directly rather than the wrapper script.
