how to login to multiple accounts (gmail/yahoo etc)
as such using only one instance of firefox (one process only), its not feasible (linux/windows).
so in linux,

create a new instance

$firefox -no-remote -P

create a new profile

$firefox -CreateProfile

in windows,
simplest workaround is to install this ietab plugin (this integrates internet explorer in firefox): https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1419

or 1. create a firefox shortcut at your desktop
2. in the properties of the shortcut change the application name to C:/whatever/firefox to C:/same-whatever/firefox -P


proxy settings (for iitk junta only)
use the following proxy configuration url
for vsnlproxy
http://home.iitk.ac.in/~nitinm/vp
relproxy
http://home.iitk.ac.in/~nitinm/rp
proxy
http://home.iitk.ac.in/~nitinm/p
ernetproxy
http://home.iitk.ac.in/~nitinm/ep

why should you use above scripts?

  • you won’t need to enter no proxy for any intranet site (like 172.26.77.74 or techkriti.org)
  • you can easily change proxy by just changing atmost one letter (like vp for vsnl, rp for reliance etc)
