Profiles are a feature of the Mozilla platform available to all Xulrunner programs. They work exactly as in Firefox and Thunderbird.
If you are using Conkeror with multiple profiles, you may find the following code handy. It puts the name of your current profile into the titles of Conkeror's windows.
function my_title_format (window) {
return '{'+get_current_profile()+'} '+window.buffers.current.description;
}
title_format_fn = my_title_format;Once you start using multiple profiles, you should always specify a profile when launching Conkeror. There seems to be no robust means as yet to assign a default profile.
Open the profile manager to create a new profile:
conkeror -no-remote -ProfileManager
Run a session of conkeror with a particular profile:
conkeror -no-remote -P some-profile
The -no-remote switch given in the commands above is not necessary if there are no running instances of Conkeror.
