title: Protractor End-to-end multiCapabilities: Internet Explorer simultaneously
body: <p>For testing my AngularJS 1.6 app, I've set up Protractor 5 with <code>multiCapabilities</code> in its config. The intention is that two instances of the same browser run in parallel, representing two users of the application interacting with each other. I know that's probably not best practice, but the harm has already been done and refactoring is currently out of the question.</p>
  
  <p>That set-up works well in Chrome and Firefox, but Internet Explorer 11 (via remote Selenium 3.11) seems to interpret <code>multiCapabilities</code> differently: It won't open two IE instances running in parallel, but rather one after the other.</p>
  
  <p>In the Selenium config, <code>maxInstances</code> is set to 4 and <code>browser.forkNewDriverInstance</code> works.</p>
  
  <p>So, is there anything I could do to make Internet Explorer run two instances parallel/simultaneously?</p>
