[Zope] Using Mozilla with Zope

[Tim Edwards]

Clarification: I am trying to access a Plone application that we are
developing logged in as a user. The application uses an acl_users folder and
Plone's standard logout/login page. At the same time I want a ZMI window
open logged in as me, an owner of the whole Zope instance, not just the
plone site.

It seems to be possible to have 2 ZMI windows open logged in as different
people but not a ZMI window and a window on the Plone application.

Thanks

No matter how I start it - start menu icon, command line (with or without
ProfileManager switch) etc. It only ever asks me to select the profile the
first time I start it up. Any more instances that are started just start -
it never asks for the profile. Trying to switch profiles whilst there are 2
instances open just results in both being closed and one window opened to
the home page of the profile that I'm switcing to. Any more ideas?

I usually use a Mozilla instance and a Mozilla Firebird instance (or 
sometimes even throw Konquerer in on the ZMI task).

Mozilla can have two instances going at the same time if you have two 
different profiles: see the Profile Manager. You can either always start 
Mozilla that way, or (I think) it'll give you a choice when you try to 
start a second time. I recall that the Windows installer makes an icon 
for the Profile Manager. On the command line you can just throw a 
'-ProfileManager' flag on.

I don't know if Mozilla's issues with multiple instances for the same 
profile are intrinsic or a feature.

feature design."
