How to run many different Scenario() without closing the browser?

How to run many different Scenario() without closing the browser? This is my code:

Before((I) => {
    I.amOnPage('/');
    I.fillField('email', 'someEmail@gmail.com');
    I.fillField('password', '123456');
    I.click('Sign in');
});

Scenario('Check to see if it has landing page and welcome msg', (I) => {
    I.see('Welcome to Casefriend Version 1.0');
    I.amOnPage('http://cflocal/#landing');


});

Scenario('Logining into Casefriend', (I) => {
    I.click('Users');
    I.click('New User');
});

This code passes correctly but it opens firefox, test Scenario 1 then closes firefox, opens again, and tests second Scenario. I want it to do everything on one single firefox instance. How can I do?

I think this is a good feature that will be available soon in upcoming releases )
Thanks for the suggestion

@DavertMik It would be really awesome if the state is reset to the initiale state of the site after each test, in order to enable a clean testing environment. (This is something CasperJS has issues with 😉)

@DavertMik
This is kinda killer for working with SauceLabs (starting browsers there is slooow)

I've been looking at how to implement this today ... Basic plan of attack is just a custom WebDriverIO Helper that only starts the browser if it hasn't already been created... This could then be easily be expanded to work off a config option, and I'd probably add that after a test fails, it might be worth restarting the browser.

... only problem is there is no beforeAll/afterAll currently implemented (as per #103) so there is no place to hook into really shut down the browser ... any thoughts on doing this?

@smozely I created a PR with this feature for Protractor/Selenium, I can try to look into it for webdriver.io or If you want to have a look feel free. #167

@fabioel Have you tried using Nightmare? There's a setting that effectively does what you're referring to.
Below is an extract from my helpers config:

Nightmare: {
      url: 'http://localhost:3000',
      webPreferences: {
        partition: 'nopersist'
      }
   }

Closing this issue, now there is restart option that can be used for disabling browser restart
