How to run separate Firefox Profiles (Run different copies, not new windows, of firefox on the same computer)
This is NEEDED to run multiple MWAP characters, at the same time, on the same computer, and same user.
Using this, I have 6 MWAP characters playing 24/7.

1. Copy these instructions to notepad. (Or whatever text editor you want)
2. Shutdown firefox, X out, firefox CANNOT be running for this.
3. Press and hold the Windows Key and hit R (Win+R) to open the run menu.

4. Paste this in...


"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -profilemanager


5. Click 'OK'
Now the profile manager will pop up...

As you can see, I've already created another profile.

6. Click 'Create'
7. Click 'Next'
8. Type in what you want to call the profile (I.E. Mafia1)
9. Click 'Finish'
10. Make sure 'Don't Ask at Startup' is CHECKED like in my picture.
11. Click 'Exit'

Now you've made the new profile, But oh noes! How to get to it?!

12. Create a new shortcut on your desktop for firefox, You can do this easily
by right clicking your current shortcut, and clicking copy, then right clicking
elsewhere and clicking paste.

13. Right click your new firefox shortcut.
14. Click 'properties'
15. In the TARGET box, Add the following to the END


-P mafia1 -no-remote


Change mafia1 to whatever you named the new profile to!!!
So, In my case, my FULL link will look like this...


"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -P mafia1 -no-remote


16. Click 'Ok'
17. Right click the shortcut, rename it to whatever you choose, I renamed mine 'Mafia1'
18. Enjoy!

Test it out, dbl click that shortcut, and it'll open up what looks like a new installation
of firefox. This is the NEW profile, You can be on a seperate facebook account now with no
issues. Run a seperate copy of firefox at the same time as your main, and run two Mafia Wars
accounts at once. Or 10, or 50, depending on how sexy your computer is.

Since this is a new profile, you have to reinstall everything, greasemonkey, MWAP, any addons/themes
you might need/want.
