I would like to run a second copy of firefox in debian, that is completely unconnected to the first.
That is, the second copy should not share history, cookies, any kind of storage, passwords, configuration, or anything else with the first. It should be possible to send a signal to one (such as kill) without the other being aware of it. In essence it should run parallel to firefox like a clone (e.g., Pale Moon), except using the same binary. (But i'd be willing to copy the binary if there were an easy way to just change its name to firefox2 or something.) I suppose that i could do this with a virtual machine bur that seems very heavy weight. TIA for any clues on how to do this! dan
