How to run more than one instance of Firefox in Ubuntu Linux

Reece · 09-08-17, 07:02 AM

I am running Ubuntu Linux and can only run one instance of Firefox at a time, I would like to be able to run other instances in the 'Workspace Switcher'.
Is this possible?

I can right click a link and open in new window in Ubuntu 16.10.

Thanks Steve, a bit different from Windows! From there I was able to drag the new instance to another window in switcher.

Cheers.
