don’t know about MacOS, but in bash on linux, that will only run the command in the background so you can run other commands on the same terminal.

if you want to be able to close the terminal without exiting the program, you need to use nohup.

The first one to browser the web, only with some addblocking extensions, the sencond one with dev tools and stuff. I guess until here its nothing special. But, if you are on a *UNIX system as i am, you can link the password and bookmark files with each other, and have the same bookmarks and passwords in both browsers, also automatically updated in both. regards I am using 2 Profiles for a long time.

Also have not seen any info about installation it self as before I run it need to install it and that means overwrite the FF2 "firefox.exe" file unless there is any other way to do this which am missing. (talking MAC) thanks. Hi there, could anyone explain more clearly how do I assign FF3 to my new profile as all I get after creating new profile is another copy of FF2.
