you can do it with firefox profiles. start with:
firefox -ProfileManager
Thank you very much for the hint. I went to the Mozilla Firefox Help page and read up on this. However, when I run:
# firefox -ProfileManager
All I get is a new Firefox window with all of the bookmarks and history of my standard user profile. Am I missing something here?

If the initial condition is that no instances of Firefox is running then "firefox -ProfileManager" will indeed bring up the Profile Manager and allow one to chose which profile to use or manage profiles. However, that is the only circumstance where this occurs. Once a Firefox instance is running subsequent invocations skip the profile manager and start a new window with the same profile as the first.
Is this intended behaviour?
