That might make sense for a file converter say, like Soundconverter, but for Midori and the like? Or are you rather after what different ways are there to kill a process?

Hi Joan,

I understood Sophie thus that she wanted to run the same program twice as two instances at the same time, not two different browsers (FF and Chromium for example), which I do myself from time to time. I just do not get the reason why one would do that with a web browser, for other applications I do see a logic behind it, but not for a browser.
