i.e. You have FT open, and you also want NWA open, and the ability to switch between the two?

If you are asking about IE, you can do a file, new, and open a new window and pop back and forth beetween them. If you are on a page and want the link to open in a new window, shift click it instead of clicking it.

Actually Mozilla, I have just transitioned to Firefox and have not worked out a way to have two separate browser URL's open without the first one turning into the second. There is a control for this in IE - Tools - Advanced, no such thing in Firefox it seems.

Firefox has an extension to do that I believe.

Also, Firefox has an IE extension that when you find a ie only site, you just right click and tell it to open the page in ie. Very handy extension.

Do a "File->New Tab" or "File->New Window". It will open a new tab or new window withjin which you can surf.

Sorry to be a pain, but I am probably not explaining myself very well. I understand the above, my problem is different.
I have a folder on my desktop with many web site shortcuts in it. I open one by clicking on it, and it opens in Firefox...perfect. Then I want to open another by clicking on it....it opens using the same window so the second site has supplanted the first. How do I get Firefox to launch a completely new window so I have both sites open at one time allowing me to switch back and forth using the task bar. I know I can open a new TAB or window and type the next url into it every time - I want it to launch from the shortcut...
