How does one run several instances of a Web Browser on one computer to
exercise software.

I am testing a system that supports several individuals collaborating
(it is the ID3 system for
participatory democracy described at www.wiu.edu/users/mflll/ThreeSystems.html
in case anyone is curious.)

I start up Mozilla Firefox
and log in fine.  I start up another Mozilla and when
I log in the system treats it as the same session.

The system to which we are communicating
is a Struts implementation running under Tomcat.

I have the same problem if I used Internet Explorer.
I can have Internet Explorer and Mozilla firefox and one
instance of each type of browser
is treated as a separate user.   However, that only gives me two
simultaneous
simulated individuals on one computer.  I need at least three to
demonstrate
or test the functionality of my system.   (Of course, selenium has
a multi-user feature, but I am not at that phase yet.)

Thanking you for any insight into this problem.
