mozilla profiles

[Joe]

Another way to skin the cat - at least if you're starting the new 
instance from clicking on a desktop icon is to use scripts to invoke it 
as follows (with your own paths inserted):

Browser Window:

#!/bin/bash
# Attributed to Dave Patton

if [[ `ps -e | grep mozilla` ]]
then
        #Mozilla is running
        `/usr/lib/mozilla-1.5/mozilla -P bigbird -remote 'openURL('$1', 
new-window)'`
else
        #Mozilla is NOT running
        `/usr/lib/mozilla-1.5/mozilla -P bigbird $1`
fi

---------

or, for Messenger

--------

#!/bin/bash
# mozmailrun - (C) 09/21/2003 - JPmicrosystems

if [[ `ps -e | grep mozilla` ]]
then
        #Mozilla is running
        `/usr/lib/mozilla-1.5/mozilla -P bigbird -remote 'xfeDoCommand 
(openInbox)'`
else
        #Mozilla is NOT running
        `/usr/lib/mozilla-1.5/mozilla -P bigbird -mail`
fi

When I have the browser open and I click to open another instance another mozilla browser at the same time I get a box that wants me to create another profile. How do I disable this. I use Mozilla on winblows and Linux and never get this profile box. I just want to open many instances when Im browsing rather than have may different personl setting I cant keep track of. Thanks
