Andrej If I do so, it opens in same browser… I would need first browser to be available and new browser should open for second one ---

i think you cannot open new window. what you can do, is open new tab in browser … look here: [http://helping-eachothers.blogspot.com/2018/02/how-to-move-to-new-tab-in-chrome-using.html#more](http://helping-eachothers.blogspot.com/2018/02/how-to-move-to-new-tab-in-chrome-using.html#more) ---
