3 SeaMonkeys


Well I setup a new GMail account today with a more normal name for the address. Thusly, I needed to a way to run an extra browser session, without messing up my current setup. So after a little research, I decided upon SeaMonkey. Why?



  • Supports multiple profiles.

  • Uses the same engine as Firefox.

  • Has a small memory footprint.


To make this happen, you need to do a couple of things



  1. Setup a profile for each browser session you want to run. The session manager can be found under Tools --> Switch Profile.

  2. Setup a shell script for each session.


The shell script for each browser session looks something like this on OS X.



#!/bin/bash
/Applications/SeaMonkey.app/Contents/MacOS/seamonkey-bin -P profileName &

That's it. Enjoy your monkeys!
