Open a new browser session in a different window in Selenium

Question

I am new to Selenium and just started to use it. I want to open a new browser session in a different window from my script and do not know how to do it.

I tried using the open command and gave the Firefox Url but it opened in the same window.

Any ideas?

Try using openWindow instead of open. If you get a message that Firefox blocked a popup, allow popups. This will probably open a tab instead of a window, but maybe that will suit your needs.
