Can I have two versions of firefox? i.e. one for work and one for home use. I use Windows xp
I would like to start fresh with a new firefox for my work only so I can keep my work related bookmarks etc separate from my at home browsing.

Yes - are you wanting to run 2 profiles on the same machine? See https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Managing-profiles on how to create a new profile. You then just choose which profile you want to use each time you open Firefox.

  • Can I have two versions of firefox at the same time?

    Hi,
    Probably a dumb question but can I have two versions of Firefox on my system at the same time?
    The reason is because of Add Ons that are not compatible with v4. I'd like to be able to close v4 when I need to use an Add On in v3.
    Thanks.

    You can install them both but there are a few steps to take.
    When you install Firefox 4 use the custom installation option and choose a different location to install Firefox.
    In order to use both versions, you need to create a new profile for Firefox 4 (Firefox stores user data in the profile). Using the same profile with different versions can cause problems. Once you create a new profile you can copy certain data such as bookmarks and passwords between them. You can also use Firefox Sync to keep the profiles synchronized. Finally, you will need to set up shortcuts to launch the correct profile for each version.
    The following links show how to do this:

    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox

  • Can I have two versions of firefox - latest and the older 3.6, which I can only use with Blackboard?

    My 8 new Firefox is fine. But I am using the Blackboard online LMS, which has not yet been upgraded for the newer Firefox. I was told Blackboard works fine with the 3.6 firefox. Hence I want to know if I can have both versions of firefox at once on my Windows 7 laptop PC. Or can I only have one version at a time.

    Yes - you can either use a portable version of Firefox 3.6 or you can run two profiles. If you search on how to run 2 profiles there are instructions out there.

  • Can i have two versions of OSX running on one computer

    can i have two versions of OSX running on one computer?

    Yes. The second one can be installed on an internal or external drive, but can't be one that the computer wouldn't be able to run if installed on the internal drive.

  • Just upgraded to 10.0.2 and now it can't findwebsites - three that I know were created with WordPress. IE & Chrome work just fine - and the previous version of Firefox (10.0.1) also worked. Looking for a fix or I will need to abandon Firefox. Thanks.

    I get the following error message: Gone The requested resource / is no longer available on this server and there is no forwarding address. Please remove all references to this resource. Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request. IE & Chrome work just fine - and the previous version of Firefox (10.0.1) also worked. Looking for a fix or I will need to abandon Firefox. Thanks.

  • I have two time capsules, one for work and one for home, how do I set up the work time capsule to only back up my work files?

    I have two time capsules, one for work and one for home, how do I set up the work time capsule to only back up my work files?  Also, how do I add co-workers to my work time capsule and wife to my home time capsule?  Thank you!

    You cannot have two different TC setups.. at least until Mountain Lion.. it did introduce some changes but I am not sure if you can setup two different configurations for TM.. you can use two different devices to back up to. I doubt this will help you.
    You might be better using a real backup software.. superduper, CCC, chronosync etc.
    The TC by default is available to any Mac in the network to do backups. TM will sort itself out and put each computer on a different backup. These are kept in separate sparsebundles.. so that is all fine.

    That depends on what kind of "files" you're talking about and what your employer's policy is on using cloud storage.
    I found dropbox and/or OneDrive work very well for keeping documents in sync between multiple machines.

  • Have been up for 2 days trying to have two versions of Firefox on the same machine because Princeton Review only supports 2.0 and my laptop upgraded me to 4.o can you please help?

    When I try to access the interactive sites on Princeton Review I politely receive this message:
    Your browser: Firefox 4.0 WinNT | JavaScript supported: Yes | screen size: 1366 X 768 | Flash Version Installed: 10.0 r42 | Supports AJAX:Yes | Click here to test connection speed
    Attention:
    '''This browser is not supported. '''Links to Start, Resume or Start Over any exams in iTest are disabled for this browser.
    '''''We encourage you to use''''' Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher or '''''Mozilla Firefox 1.5 or 2. '''''
    ''Use of your Online Student Center in Firefox 3.0 is not yet supported.''

    IMO, you are better off installing - [http://sourceforge.net/projects/portableapps/files/Mozilla%20Firefox%2C%20P.E.%20Legacy/Mozilla%20Firefox%2C%20Portable%20Edition%202.0.0.20%20Repack/FirefoxPortableLegacy20_2.0.0.20_English.paf.exe/download Firefox Portable 2.0.0.20] - to your hard drive for the few web sites that are so out of date that they don't support newer versions of Firefox. That way you don't need to fool around with a separate Profile for 2.0.0.20, and there is less chance of a another version / Profile of Firefox getting "contaminated" by that old version or you losing private data if your get the Profiles switched.

  • Can I have two versions of Safari on one machine?

    The question first, then the explanation for the question:  Can I have both Safari 5 and Safari 6 on my machine and run them at the same time?
    I hate Safari 6 & 7 because they combine the search and URL into one bar, which really annoys me.  It requires an extra step when I type in the direct URL I want, because instead of returning the URL, it goes to a search page, and then I have to click the site I want.  Annoying.   So I have not upgraded from Safari 5 on my iMac, which I use nearly all the time.  I have tried Firefox because it still has the search and URL boxes separate, but I also like the little orange arrow in Safari 5 that quickly takes me back to my original search when I've ended up on rabbit trails in my searching and I want to go back to where I was -- Firefox does not have this.  (I dislike Firefox in general, anyway.)
    However, now I'm finding that some websites are beginning to warn me that my browser (Safari 5) is too old and may not work properly.  Now I have found a site for which indeed that is true -- a site I regularly use for my job, and a company which says they will no longer offer support for issues on Safari 5.  One screen is split into two, and I could always scroll the two sides separately, but after an update to the site, now they will not scroll separately.  I have a MacBook Air, which I rarely use, and tested the same page on Safari 6 -- it works on Safari 6.  Thus, the company will refuse to help me and tell me to just update my browser.
    I really like Safari, EXCEPT for the new versions' combined search/URL bar, so I want to keep using Safari 5.  Thus, I want to know if I can have both Safari 5 and 6 on my machine at all, and if so, then I want to know if I can have them both open at the time, for example, if I give them different names (Safari 5 and Safari 6, rather than just Safari).
    This is for my iMac, which is running Lion 10.7.5

    >>I could not see this reply in Safari 5, neither by refreshing the page nor by clicking "Latest reply," which did nothing.
    That's a very common issue with the software that runs these discussions, and usually nothing to do with the browser. Pasting a single character reply, often reveals the missing item(s); as does viewing the thread without signing in first.

  • Can I have two versions of OSX running on same machine?

    Hi - since upgrading from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion recently I have run into an unexpected problem (though I'm sure there would have been a warning that I missed). Some of my older applications, such as Adobe Creative Suite version 1, no longer run with the new OS. My plan is to install an additional hard drive in my Mac Pro (2009 dual Xeon version) and go back to my original software (Tiger) and install that on the new drive, then update to Snow Leopard with that software package. I will then, hopefully, be able to install CS1 on that drive.
    Am I likely to encounter any problems doing this? I will effectively have two different OSXs running on the same machine, albeit on differnt drives.
    Thank you in anticipation,

    The old "pop the DVD in, hold down Option or Command + C and just do a clean install on your new drive doesn't cut it?
    As for SL, it has to be retail, can't be the OEM gray disc from another Mac specific model.
    First, start up your computer from the Mac OS X Install DVD.
    Insert the Mac OS X Install DVD.  After it mounts, choose System Preferences from the Apple () menu.
    Choose Startup Disk from the View menu.
    Select the Mac OS X Install DVD as the startup disk and click Restart.

  • Can I have multiple versions of Firefox? I'm running 3.6, but need 3.0 for a virtual network which requires a plugin not compatible with 3.6.

    I don't want to lose 3.6, but have 3.0 available for this one application.
    thanks!

    Easiest is to install a portable Firefox 3.0.x version. The portable version uses its own profile and that way you do not have to make sure that the 3.0 version doesn't use the Firefox 3.6 profile.
    You can do a custom install of the Firefox 3.0.19 version, but then you have to make sure that you do not start the Firefox 3.0 program after installing and first create a new profile for that version and create desktop shortcuts to start each version with its own profile to avoid corrupting files in the profile folder.

  • Can i install two versions of Firefox on one PC?

    Hello,
    I have Firefox 27.0.1 Installed on my system. I want to try Firefox 29.0 to see if i like it but i don't want to uninstall 27.0.1. Is there some way i can use both versions?
    Thanks.

    Try using the Portable version. It doesn't affect your main installation. It also won't have your bookmarks, but you could import them if you want to use them there.

    For suggestions on restoring some features of the earlier user interface, see: [[How to make the new Firefox look like the old Firefox]].
    Of course, for security reasons, you should updated as soon as you can.
