"noframemerging" in Edge is not supported

Edge doesn’t support “noframemerging” feature. We have an application with use cases that require having multiple login sessions open at the same time. These sessions are merging when opened in diffe...

Darshini_Patel Thanks for letting us know that you'd like to see "noframemerging." I'm looping in one of our product team members and will let you know if they have any clarifying questions or insights on this.

Me too. The issue that I have that was not an issue with the "-noframemerge" in IE, but is a very big issue with MS Edge. My situation is that I need to be logged in to one website with one user ID in multiple windows to switch to the function of the website that I need (one for balances, another for the history that causes the balances, and another for the basis for the rate of the balances). So the separate user profiles feature will not work for my situation.

    Elizabeth1969 Darshini_Patel Nrein2062 Ulrich_Bernskov esirvys Hello Everyone!  (I tried to tag everyone in the thread, apologies if I missed anyone!) 

     

    I know this thread has been around for awhile.  I wanted to follow up as the team is doing some investigation about nomerge with IE mode in Microsoft Edge.  Specifically they are trying to understand better how customers are using nomerge. 

     

    Would you be able to answer the following questions?   

     

    1. For your scenario, do you use the nomerge command-line option, the registry option, and/or the new session option?
    2. When you are in a scenario that requires nomerge, are you usually using multiple tabs in the same window?  If so, are those tabs part of the same workflow?

    Hoping you folks can help! Thank you!

      Kelly_Y We are using the command line option. We open the new session in a new window, not the multiple tabs within the same window.

       

      Our customers have started migrating to Edge as IE 11 is going out of support. And so, IE 11 as a workaround is not a viable option for the impacted workflows. Has the team at MS come up with a potential workaround? Any details on that if you can share would be appreciated. Furthermore, what's the current status of the progress on this case? We need to know the projected timeline of support for -noframemerging switch in Edge so that we can plan on re-designing the workflows on our end if necessary.

      Hi Kelly_Y  and thank you.
      So that our web application can remain separate when integrating with other partners.
      1. We use the command-line option to call iexplore.exe -noframemerging.
      2. To open a new separate window that is a separate process.
      Thanks again, and thanks Darshini_Patel .

      Kelly_Y In IE 11, I have the target as "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" -noframemerging from the properties window.  I do not use multiple tabs, I use multiple windows as I have found that multiple tabs still merges.  I have the same website open, using the same user ID information to log in and am able to switch between my windows/screens without them interfering with the other sessions of the same user on the same website.  I tried using "-noframemerging" and "-nomerge" for MS Edge and it doesn't work.
