[Bug 78538]

[Alex Shafer]

I have a pretty hacky workaround for this. It seems to be working fine
initially, but I'm guessing this will break something eventually. BACK
UP YOUR PROFILE BEFORE TRYING THIS

cd ~/.mozilla/firefox
mkdir screen1
mkdir screen2

# for bash
shopt -s dotglob

# for zsh
setopt GLOB_DOTS

cd screen1
ln -s ../<YOUR PROFILE>/* .
rm .parentlock

cd ../screen2
ln -s ../<YOUR PROFILE>/* .
rm .parentlock

>From a terminal on screen 1...
firefox -P screen1 -new-instance

>From a terminal on screen 2...
firefox -P screen2 -new-instance

Again, USE WITH CAUTION AND MAKE BACKUPS FIRST
