How to run 2 different Firefox versions using the same profile

Is it possible to run 2 different Firefox versions using the same profile and still have browsing history saved? I used to be able to do that up until a week ago. What happened was I was using Firefox version 3.6.28(a very old version of Firefox) which I need to use sometimes and then the current version, 36.01. Earlier I would use both my versions of Firefox and the history would be saved if I used both versions but now when version 36.01 came out, its not saving for some reason. Is this a bug? The history is saving during the current session, but say I close out of Firefox and then go back to Firefox, it will still be saved but when I go to my old version of Firefox, the history is saved but then after I close out of that the history on my new current version is all gone and it starts me all fresh, is there a way to get rid of this so that the history will always be saved even if i switch between versions? I could do that before up until Firefox 35.01 but Firefox 36 isnt saving the history from the old version, is this a bug or not? Now I have to create a separate profile for each Firefox so the history I use on the old version is only saved on that version and the history I have on the new Firefox is another profile so that history from the 2nd profile remains but I dont want that. I want to be able to use the same profile so that the same browsing history can be saved using both versions like it was before, I hope people can understand my problem. If not I can further explain, thanks.

@ the-edmeister, I understand that the 2 versions are completely different, however how come the history was saving fine when I switched between firefox 3.6.28 to the current one which was Firefox 32, 33, 34, 35 etc? Like I'm surprised how come now at Firefox 36 this problem started, Firefox 36 isnt that much different from Firefox 35 but yet Firefox 35 was still saving my browser history from the old 3.6.28 version, my 3.6.28 version never upgrades but the new Firefox keeps upgrading whenever there is a new release out automatically and then all of a sudden when the new version of 36.01 came out all my history was gone, so isnt Firefox 35.01 also very much different from 3.6.28 as much as 36.01 is? I hope you got what I meant, thank you for helping.

  • I am asked to select an app each time I attempt to open a linked file via a website. How do I tell firefox to use the same app every time?

    I have a website; www.designed4submariners.com. On several pages, I have created links to images which are located in a upload file folder. Each time I click on one of those links on the active website (using Firefox as browser), a dialog box appears asking me: What should Firefox do with this file? Beneath the question is a pull down menu which has "TextEdit (defualt)" selected next to a radio button. The image file will open in a browser window when I select Firefox from that pull down menu. I can not tell Firefox to open all similar files using Firefox. How can I resolve this issue as I must go through the same process each time I attempt to open one of those links.

  • How to sync 2 different Mac users using the same Apple ID and with out mixing each other info?

    How to sync 2 different Mac users using the same Apple ID and with out mixing each other info?
    We are two people using three difrent Macs, 1 Iphone and 1 Ipad with separate USERS  on each Mac but sharing the same Apple ID: xxxxxx
    I set up the first user to iCloud and it was OK but when I set up the second user to use iCoud the first users's info gets mixed with the second user's info?
    Do we have to set up a diffrent Apple ID for each other?
    Sometime ago I added my friends E mail (yyyyy) to the main Apple ID (xxxx) as for using his E mail account (to separate our e mail accounts, and it's working ok) but now when I try to create a new apple ID whith the same friend's e mail (yyyyyy)  it says that his mail (yyyyy) is already an apple ID when the Apple ID is really my E mail (xxxxx)... any clue?
    Thanks

    I believe because you migrated from a Nokia to an iPhone you need to register the Bn phone number with your Apple ID so it can be used for iMessage. The Pn number seems to be the only one registered

    Manage your Apple ID and see if that does the trick
    Hope that helps

  • Solaris 11 IPS:  How do you post multiple versions of the same package?

    How do you post multiple versions of the same software package on a single IPS instance(port)? Oracle was able to do it here with versions 151 and 175 of S11:
    http://pkg.oracle.com/solaris/release/
    Unfortunately, based on my searches, no where in the documentation (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/server-storage/solaris11/technologies/ips-323421.html) does it explain to the development community how this is done. The best I can do is create pkg repo instances on different ports to host each different software version.
    We are trying to deploy an IPS repository for our drivers and utilities that our customers can link to and pull updates from. We have been able to post a software package to the repository using the command:
    pkgsend publish -s http://localhost:1234 -d ./ Appv1.p5m
    This posts the package on the IPS repository instance at port 1234 on the server. However, we would like to post multiple versions of the package on the server at the same URL. Why the same URL? So that our customers and end-users need only point to a single URL to pull down our software rather than having to add a new URL to the publisher list each time we have an update. We want at least 5 of the previous software versions to be available on the server. Posting each version of the application or driver on a different IPS instance on a different port will require customers to add multiple URLs to their publisher list and they also will not be able to initiate remote scans for updates.
    Has anybody been able to do this? Is any documentation forthcoming?

    dhduvall: Thanks for your response. Yes, one would think that as long as the version numbers are different, you should be able to accumulate multiple versions of a package in a repository. It looks like Oracle has done it in their S11 repository unfortunately, as far as I know, they have not shared the steps on how to do this. I would like to publish two versions of the same package. I.E. two different manifests with two different fmri.pkg version strings and two different binaries.
    If I publish one package after another like this:
    pkgsend publish -s http://localhost:1234 Appv1.p5m
    pkgsend publish -s http://localhost:1234 Appv2.p5m
    Then only the second package shows up in the repository, as if it over-wrote the first one.
    Running pkgsend with two manifest, like this:
    pkgsend publish -s http://localhost:1234 Appv1.p5m Appv2.p5m
    Will cause pkgsend to combine the packages and manifests as if they were a single package... not what I am trying to do.
    Both approaches are complete without errors but neither achieves what I am trying to do.
    alan.pae: Thank you. Unfortunately, the link didn't really help. I've read Oracle's white papers and IPS developer guide so I'm familiar with the topics covered.
    Lex: Yes, I know. I specified the versions in the pkg.fmri value string.

  • How do I use the same profile for two users on the same computer

    I use my laptop both at home and at work. And in each venue I use a different user log on. But I wish to have firefox use the same profile for each user log on. How can I get firefox to point to the same profile for each user?

    Note that only one user (Firefox instance) can use a profile folder at the time, so if you would switch the Windows user to another account then you would first have to close Firefox.

  • How does one remove duplicate versions of the same songs on an iPhone5?

    How does one remove duplicate versions of the same songs on an iPhone5?

    Yes, I use Live Bookmarks.
    This is the RSS http://www.ctech.com/forum/rss.php
    Each of those entries at the RSS site show up in my Firefox RSS folder twice. The content of each entry when I go to it is exactly the same. It's not that one is the reply to the original post or anything like that. For instance, see the attached image of the list of items that show up. The highlighted yellow on top is an example. Both of those links display exactly the same original post and replies. Why is that? Is is possible that somehow I'm subscribed twice? Does that make sense? How can I delete the duplicates, or for that matter, clear all those items that show on the list? I just want to see the new ones. Thanks.

  • TS3510 I have 3 different apple devices using the same Apple ID and would like to use FaceTime to call from one device to the other.  Do I need a different Apple ID for one of the devices in order to do that?

    I have 3 different apple devices (iPod Touch, iPad and MacBook Pro) using the same Apple ID and would like to use FaceTime to call from one device to the other.  Do I need a different Apple ID for one of the devices in order to do that?

    I found this on a related question in the Community:
    Yes you can do it. I do it with 4 different devices all using the same Apple ID.
    You need to associate different email addresses for each device in order to use those email addresses as the "contact at" email address. The reason the calls are dropping on you now is that what you are trying to do is like calling yourself on your own phone.
    You can also create new iCloud accounts on each device simply to use for FaceTime, but I'm guessing that the users of the other two devices have their own email addresses which will make this work for you quite easily.
    Take a look at this for more information.
    The seems to go against what Gail said and the issue you raised about buying dup apps was my first concern.  If this other post is correct, how to I set a different "contact at" in the iPod Touch?

  • How do my wife and i use the same ipad?

    How do my wife and i use the same ipad?

    Nothing keeps you from handing it "back and forth" to share. I do this all the time on our couch with my Wife's iPad...
    I think your quesiton revolves around having your own bookmarks and other data/info on the device. 
    The iPad is meant to be a "single user device"; there isn't a login/logout to differenciate one user from another.  "The iPad isn't a computer"..  ;-)
    But, that being said, there are lots of ways to share the iPad/iOS environment.  Many apps, such as Facebook, let you login and out..  so, while you share the same app, each of your login is different.
    For bookmarks and notepad it is a little trickier..  You can each use a different browser (so all of your bookmarks are complerety seperate.)
    In some cases I would sugest a couple get a $900 Macbook Air rather than an iPad if this sharing won't work.  "Why can't I log in and out of and iPad?".  I think that the fact that it doesn't gives the iPad many adantages over a computer.
    If you have more specific questions pleaser ask away.  Just like you share the kitchen table and many other things around your household, there are many ways to make this work!  ;-)

  • I am changing from Word to Pages. I have created my custom template with all my styles etc and that is what comes up when I go for a New Document. Fine. How do I get it to use the same Custom Template when I use Pages to open a Word document?

    I am changing from Word to Pages. I have created my custom template with all my styles etc and that is what comes up when I go for a New Document. Fine. How do I get it to use the same Custom Template when I use Pages to open a Word document?

    The template is a document in itself, it is not applied to an existing document whether it is a Pages document or a Word document converted to a Pages document.
    You would need to either copy and paste content, using existing styles, or apply the styles to the converted Word document.
    You can Import the Styles from an existing document and those imported Styles can be used to override the current document's styles:
    Menu > Format > Import Styles
    The process is simplified if the styles use the same names, otherwise you will need to delete the style you don't want and replace it with the one that you do want when asked, then the substitution is pretty straightforward.

  • Using the Same Profile for Outlook Connector and Exchange

    Is anyone using the same profile in Outlook for both the Oracle Connector for Outlook and Exchange server? Only Exchange would have an IMAP mail service defined.
    Oracle tech support kindly provided me with the following information but I would really appreciate hearing about customer experiences:
    "In theory this should work without causing any problem if only one service within the same Profile is configured for mail. However, before configuring a large amount of users with such a configuration, please start with 1 user and perform some tests, as I am not aware of anyone using such a configuration. The fact that you want your Oracle calendar users to invite Exchange users, will be like inviting External users, the Free/Busy information for these users will not be available etc. Also inviting external user is an already existing feature of the Oracle Calendar."
    Thanks very much.
    Brenda

    We are doing it currently as we are switching over from Exchange 5.5 to OCS. We set up a profile using the Oracle connector and then go into properties and add the Exchange account. We used this method to move files from the Exchange server to the Oracle server by having both profiles running.

  • How do I separate 3 different devices all using the same apple ID

    HELP PLEASE!! My wife has a macbook which is about 5 years old. We used our only email address at that time as our apple ID. Since then we have bought her an iphone 4 and registered it with the same apple ID. Then a few months later I made the jump from my blackberry to an iphone 4 and used the same apple id. All these devices are now tethered to the same apple id as well as our family itunes account. So, we have a family itunes account, an older macbook and 2 iphone 4's all with the same apple id. With me so far? Now, everything was cool until the iOS update came out for our 2 iphones and came with the new icloud app. When my wife and I set up our icloud accounts everything that was on her phone showed up on mine and everything that was on mine showed up on hers. How do I change the apple id's on her phone and computer, keep the apple id we already have on my phone and continue to share the itunes account? An important note here is that the apple id's are my email address. HELP!!!!

    OK this might help you
    you need both iphones and the mac next open itunes and click on itunes prefrences now you will need to go to devices and erase all iphone back ups
    next plug the phone with your info to the mac and rename that iphone with your name and back it up, After the back up safely remove it
    next plug the phone with your wifes info into the mac and follow the same steps.
    after the back up is done restore your wifes iphone and when ask to restore as a new iphone you need to scroll down to her name and click on it then do the same with your phone
    this will put all info into the corresponding phones

  • How do I get Firefox to use the Adobe Acrobat 9.0 Standard plugin to open PDF docs in the browser window?

    I have Acrobat 9.0 Standard installed on my laptop and I've followed the guides provided by Adobe and Firefox for using the provided Adobe plugin file with Firefox so that I can view PDF documents in the Firefox browser window, but neither one has worked for me. I have the location of the Nppdf32.dll file (C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Acrobat\Browser) and Acrobat is configured to "Display PDF in browser", but whenever I open a pdf on a website, my options are still only to either open it externally with Acrobat or save it. What do I do?

  • How to package different content so that the same license can be used for all content.

    1)      If packaging all the content at the same time, use the same instance of DRMParameters every time you call MediaEncrypter.encryptContent().  All content packaged using the exact same DRMParameters object will be associated with the same license.
    2)      If packaging content at different times, but want to have all the content associated with the same license, you need to use V2KeyParameters.setContentEncryptionKey().  The first time you package a piece of content, you would use ContentEncryptionKey.generate() to generate a new key/license ID.  To use the same key/license for later content, you need to store the info in ContentEncryptionKey, so you can pass in the same values later for the new content.

    To package content at different times using the same license, you need to implement the following:
    Call ContentEncryptionKey.generate to generate a new key and license ID.
    On your V2KeyParameters, call setContentEncryptionKey and pass in the object generated in step 1.
    Call MediaEncrypter.encryptContent and pass in the V2KeyParameters (via DRMParameters), as usual.
    Store the contents of ContentEncryptionKey, so the same values can be used again later.  The key, license ID, and packaging date should all be stored.
    When you want to package additional content using this license, lookup the stored key, license ID, and packaging date and pass these into the ContentEncryptionKey constructor to create a ContentEncryptionKey instance.
    On your V2KeyParameters, call setContentEncryptionKey and pass in the object generated in step 5.
    Call MediaEncrypter.encryptContent and pass in the V2KeyParameters (via DRMParameters), as usual.
    The media packaged in steps 3 and 7 should now be protected using the same license.

  • How to create a different browser session within the same profile

    Internet Explorer 8 lets you create a new session within a new browser window but how can I do the same with Firefox? I know if you switch user profiles then you can have two browsers in different sessions but I would like to have two sessions using the same user profile.

    Sorry, that's not possible with Firefox. Firefox uses a single executable instance to run all windows and tabs, where IE starts another process for each window. Chrome uses a separate process for each tab (or window), which seems real nice until it sucks the life out of an older processor with the "overhead" of all those separate processes.
    Depending upon what you want a "different session" for, there are 3 extensions that allow for multiple cookie sessions which allow for multiple, simultaneous logins to the same server. That works to allow the user to log into multiple webmail accounts at the same service provider. <br />
