Q:Firefox如何选择不同配置?(尚无firefox运行)
firefox -profilemanager。选择一个。
或者 firefox -profile "the-profile-path"
Q:Firefox如何同时开不同配置的进程?(已有firefox运行)
A:firefox -profilemanager -no-remote。选择一个。
或者 firefox -profile "the-profile-path" -no-remote

-profile 和 -profilemanager 区别:
前者指定profile，后台模式
后者让你选，gui,前台模式
前者指定的路径(目录)必须存在，但可以为空，firefox会自动为你在这个目录下建一个新的profile。
前者创建的profile,后者看不见，但通过后者的创建新配置wizard,可以把已有的profile show在后者的gui界面里

note: when specify the path for -profile, you must not add the tail "\" in the path, or it will use the default profile; you can use the quote mark to enbrace the path


为什么要多个配置?
sample: one firefox with addon: FoxyProxy(not necessary, you can use proxy by firefox's options in this profile), BlockSite, Google Toolbar, Google Notebook.use it to write blog (with FreeGate or WuJie).also google.com
one firefox: no addon, fast, and google.cn

blogspot的浏览器不兼容

search "Remote Administrator" both using firefox and ie, and then find "Remote Administrator", then you see some SN. but the SN in firefox and ie looks different. Try to copy and paste in notepad, then you find they are same. firefox uncompitable!
