I like to run TorBrowser for anonymized browsing and vanilla Firefox at
the same time. Right now, I have fvwm set up to start things like
'/usr/bin/firefox -P "default"' and '/usr/bin/tor-browser -P "Tor Browser
Profile" -no-remote'; if I leave off the -no-remote, then starting
TorBrowser with vanilla Firefox running gives me a new Firefox window
instead. With -no-remote, I always get TorBrowser, but if it's already
running it won't give me a new window, just a complaint about a process
already running, and I have to go find the existing window to clone it.
I think mozilla-xremote-client is the mechanism behind this for finding
running instances and telling them to make a new window, but I haven't
much looked into how it works. It'd be nice if it were smarter about
telling the differences between different browsers running, and even nicer
if it also could tell the difference between different processes running
different protocols so all this worked smoothly.
