You can't, firefox does not seem to have any option for that, and I see no way to satisfy your needs in fvwm. > Firefox doesn't > have the -name command line parameter, is there any way that I can > identify it as a different window to FVWM? No, fvwm has no way of guessing if a given window was created by one instance of an application or by a different one. The only way I can think of to solve your problem would be to run a nested X server with xnest in a window and start your sencond copy of firefox there. Ciao Dominik ^_^ ^_^ -- Dominik Vogt
