@Hari: Within a single browser window or within different windows of the same profile, sessions are shared. To solve this problem, you should create another firefox profile as shown above & login to orkut from there.

Hey Aswin,
You can even use the technique to package small desktop applications that will work on all Windows, Linux, and Mac – any platform with Firefox on it.
Check out the Just a Minute Firefox Extension at : http://code.google.com/p/jam-firefox-ext/
BTW, I distribute Sim-OnDemand(http://sim.ec29.com)’s ec2 launcher using this technique.

I actually have this problem with the -no-remote switch. The profile that is used by Firefox is locked up so swiftfox cannot use it. Which is kind of weird given that they are different browsers and *could possibly* use different user data locations like .mozilla/firefox and .mozilla/swiftfox (on *nix) cos I have a midbrowser installation on my Jaunty box which neatly creates a midbrowser folder inside .mozilla for config files. Know of any work arounds for this ? Could the path be specified somewhere in /usr/bin/*fox ?
