Multiple FireFox setup

[Bauwe Bijl]

Hello everyone...

Recent Firefox versions might cause problems with TiddlyWiki...(many
post lately here about it)
...for that reason I still use version 3, until solutions are
available :)

Just in-case...
It is possible to install multiple versions of Firefox ... so you can
install an older version (if you regret your update) or try-out a
newer/beta etc.
I created a small tutorial on howto install multiple Firefox versions
(performed on linux...the basics are similar for other platforms):

Have fun!

Hi Bauwe,

For Windows you can use portable versions of Firefox (and other
browsers).
See http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable also for
legacy versions of Firefox.
I don't know if portable versions exist for Linux.

Cheers,

Hi Ton

Yes...lets have all the options/workarounds listed here...

> I don't know if portable versions exist for Linux.

There are some portable solutions around...both osx and linux
...perhaps portable is good for a snap-back to an older Firefox
version...not tested here...

With the "profiles-solution" from my first post you can run Firefoxes
3, 5, 6 and 7 simultaneously...and test/debug the versions...(without
having to wait until some updated portable release is available)
