Controlling multiple firefox processes

[mikelikesspam]

I've got two test scripts which both do the same thing, just open a URL in a loop. I'm using ff.au3 _FFStart command and specifying a unique profile name and -no -remote flag.

Which ever script I start first works fine. The second script opens a FF window and MsgBoxes but then does nothing else.

Any pointers are greatly appreciated.

thanks,

mike

#include <FF.au3>

_FFStart("about:blank","Profile1", 9) 
;_FFStart("about:blank","Profile2", 9)  ####THE ONLY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SCRIPTS IS WHICH PROFILE

MsgBox(0,"",$_FF_GLOBAL_SOCKET )

If _FFIsConnected() Then

    $num_loops = 0 
    Do

        _FFOpenURL("www.google.com", True)

        Sleep(2000)
        _FFTabClose("all", "keyword")
        ;$num_loops = $num_loops + 1

    Until $num_loops = 5

_FFQuit()

EndIf

Try and start two FF process manually. FF does not like it.

I have to tried to run FF portable while running the installed version and it won't let me.

I haven't had that problem. I can start two processes manually. I can even start two process with _FFStart. In both cases I just use a unique profile for each process.

What I can't do is control the second process when it's started via script (the first works fine). I assume I need a handle or PID or something. And need to point the FF commands to that handle...?
