How do perform multiple sessions in Firefox without using an Add-On or create a separate profile?

My company uses Peoplesoft and need to have users open separate sessions without sharing cookies. We need to do this without using an add-on or by creating separate profiles. Can this be done?

No, Firefox can't do "multiple sessions". There a project underway to add "multiprocess" to Firefox.

Do all these users really need to use the same profile folder?

Only the multifox extension can currently use a separate set of cookies.

Note that this only works for cookies and may fail if other local storage (IndexedDB or DOM storage) is being used.

The current Nightly builds (Firefox 32.0a1) have a "New e10s Window" item in the File menu, but I don't think that this gives a separate set of cookies.

All of these users, are they using only one user account in the computer? Or does everyone have there own separate user accounts? If they are using separate accounts, then the Firefox profiles should be separate.
