I want my 2nd instance of Firefox to use a different Vimperator RC file than the first.   I run a 2nd instance of Firefox as follows:
 
                 run, "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -P "EbayWatcher" -no-remote -vimperator   " +u '_vimperatorrc_EbayWatcher'  "
(some spaces added for clarity)

Firefox starts okay, using the EbayWatcher profile.  However, Vimperator returns the message:

                 cannot open file: C:\users\joey\documents\autohotkey_scripts\_vimperatorrc_EbayWatcher

I am running Windows 7 Pro.  Dos has the environment variable  HOME  set to   "c:\users\joey\documents\vimperator".  The funny thing is, in DOS the current directory is set to "C:\users\joey\documents\autohotkey_scripts".   However, I can't find anything in the Vim doc that references the current DOS directory setting.  The doc talks only about %home%, %userprofile% and %homedrive%%homepath%. 

That %home% folder contains my regular Vim RC,    _vimperatorrc, and my 2nd,   _vimperatorrc_ebayWatcher.

Why is Vimperator unable to open the _vimperatorrc_ebaywatcher   rc file???


thank you.  Joe Petree

Hey Joe, maybe you could try to use :source command to load another config in your 2nd FF

:source C:\the\path\to\your\second\rcfile

I hope it works. Lennon Woo

Thanks for the info Lennon.   Since  Vimperator is SO complex and offers so many commands, I figure there is a way around my problem.   But, I would like an answer as to why the way I am trying does NOT work.
