Using pre-defined bookmarks to specific applications in Mozilla Firefox

Troubleshooting


Problem

Firefox is mixing up Maximo menus and data between multiple sessions in tabs and windows.

Symptom

When opening multiple sessions to a Maximo system using predefined bookmarks, either in tabs in the one Firefox window, or in separate Firefox windows, Maximo appears to get confused about what application it is in.
