Quick Fix

If you don't really care to understand how this hack works, just follow these steps. If you are curious how it works, I've explained it in more detail at the end of this guide.

Open your Window's Control Panel.

Open "System" (via classic view)

Click "Advanced" tab

Click "Environment Variables"

Click "New" (the bottom one, in the System Variables section)

Enter "MOZ_NO_REMOTE" for the name and "1" for the value (no quotes)

Click "OK" (3 times)

Close Firefox if it is open

Open start menu

Click "run"

Enter "firefox -p"

Click "Create Profile..."

Click "Next"

Enter a name, it doesn't matter what it is (we will use Ender for this article)

Click "Finish"

Click "Exit"

Open an isntance of Firefox like you normally have always done

Open start menu

Click "run"

Enter [ firefox -p "Ender" ] (don't include the square brackets, I used them because you need quotes for this part...and be sure to change Ender to whatever you named your new profile)

If you did everything correctly, you should now be able to log into two different bots, one on each of the Firefox windows you just created.

How It Works

To understand why you can't login with two bots on Firefox but you can on IE, you need to understand a little bit about sessions. Whenever you start a browser, it is asssigned a unique id, called a session id. This, among other things, is what allows floR's scripts to recognize your browser window among all the other ones the scripts are constantly interacting with. When you close your browser window, that session id is lost (unless you are using some sort of session restore feature). This is why if you close all of your browser windows, you will have to log back into the game. It doesn't recognize you anymore because your session id has changed.

When you open an additional Firefox window, it uses the same session id. So if you login on one window and then open another window, it still looks like the same window to floR's scripts. IE behaves...
