That is not the way to solve your problem.

First of all you need to turn of the feature of making existing
instances open windows. This is done by setting the environment
variable MOZ_NO_REMOTE (to anything, say 1).

You can not run several firefox instances at once in the same profile
of a user. So, you probably need to create another profile. To handle
profiles you start firefox like "firefox -p".

You can start firefox in a specific profile with "firefox -P
profilename".
