And I will suggest setting each profile to use an obviously different colored theme, to avoid any embarrassing moments when you post something under the wrong profile. ;)

I'll have a look into this when I have some time. Although I tend to never find time once I have found a workaround... Wonko

I had read about this somewhere. ~/.mozilla/plugins/ was already existing (I had played with creating my own plugin using Qt), and I made a symlink to /opt/Adobe/flash-player/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so. But no success. I used to get some errors in the terminal when starting midori manually, like these: ** (midori:28396): DEBUG: NP_Initialize succeeded ** (midori:28396): DEBUG: NP_Initialize ** (midori:28396): DEBUG: NP_Initialize succeeded java version "1.6.0_24" OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.11.1) (Gentoo build 1.6.0_24-b24 OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.0-b12, mixed mode) *** NSPlugin Viewer *** ERROR: /usr/lib32/nsbrowser/plugins/nppdf.so: cannot open sharh file or directory *** NSPlugin Viewer *** ERROR: /usr/lib32/nsbrowser/plugins/nppdf.so: cannot open sharh file or directory *** NSPlugin Viewer *** ERROR: /usr/lib32/nsbrowser/plugins/nppdf.so: cannot open sharh file or directory *** NSPlugin Wrapper *** ERROR: failed to initialize plugin-side RPC clien *** NSPlugin Wrapper *** WARNING:(/var/portage/tmp/portage/www-plugins/nspluginwrapper-wrapper-1.4.4/src/npw-wrapper.c:3556):invoke_NP_Initialize: assertion failed: (rpc_methpc_connection)) *** NSPlugin Viewer *** ERROR: /usr/lib32/nsbrowser/plugins/nppdf.so: cannot open sharh file or directory *** NSPlugin Viewer *** ERROR: /usr/lib32/nsbrowser/plugins/nppdf.so: cannot open sharh file or directory Not depending on the value of MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH I specified.

Thanks all four your input, I'll also try using different Firefox profiles, if Midori just doesn't work for me. Wonko

Each profile will have its own set of cookies, bookmarks, history, saved passwords, etc. To open 2 firefox windows with 2 different profiles at once, launch it with: firefox -P -no-remote There are firefox add-ons such as cookieswap to maintain separate sets of cookies and sessions that you can toggle, instead of needing to logout and login you just swap cookies then open youtube or whatever... As mentioned already if you're using Google services, they support multiple sign-in on most of their sites now (recently added to Youtube), so you can easily switch between accounts. There is another Firefox addon called Yoono that claims to give you per-tab session profiles but I have not personally tried it. I don't like the way their website looks and the whole thing seems kind of Windoze-spammy-looking to me, but maybe I'm just overly paranoid. Maybe I'll try it in a VM with wireshark and see what it does. ;) On Symbian/Maemo/MeeGo phones there is a Qt/WebKit-based web browser called MobWebMail which is specifically designed for Gmail. It has multiple cookie sessions support built in, very handy to switch between accounts and never need to logout or login in the process.

I think, if you go to your account settings in Google, you can tick a box that allows you to sign in to multiple Google accounts on the same computer at the same time. Perhaps that will prevent auto sign-in across tabs. Perhaps that will mean you have to create a dummy account for youtube and other google services. (Some how it brings to mind the guy who wanted the frequent shopper benefits but did not want to be tracked, so he shared his frequent shopper card's barcode on the internet and several hundred like-minded individuals started using that same barcode.)

[gentoo-user] Midori and Flash
Hi there! I am using all kinds of web browsers. Firefox for sites I always want to have open. Konqueror when I start a browser from scratch to look something up. Chromium is also running, Mainly because I had trouble with Firefox opening one window on another desktop. Now I'd also like to use Midori, as a lightweight browser for using Google+. The reason is that when I open Google+ in Firefox, I am also logged in at Google when I using other tabs with Youtube or other Google sites. If there's a way around this, I'd be happy to know about it. But so I just thought, why not use Midori for Google+ only. But it doesn't do Flash. The FAQ says I have to export MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH="/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins" or wherever my plugins are, so I did this, using /usr/lib/firefox/plugins, which looks right to me. But still Flash does not work. How is this for other Midori users, is Flash working? Wonko
