Can I run 2 separate versions of Firefox on my Mac with OS 10.6.8?

For example, I'd like to run my current Firefox version 5.0.1 with the new version 6.0 so that I can easily switch to the older version if something doesn't work with the new version. I run the 1Password extension with Firefox and I got a message the current 1Password 3.7.1 doesn't run on Firefox version 6.0. If so, that's a killer for me and I will not upgrade to Firefox 6.0 until there are compatible versions of both.
THANKS!

For Reply 1: Thanks, but I'd rather pass on beta releases. Plus the basic issue has happened before and I suspect it will happen again.
For Reply 2: Excellent! That's exactly what I'm looking for. I'll try it tomorrow and let you know how it goes!

CAN I RUN 2 VERSIONS OF FIREFOX (4.0 & 3. SIMULTANEOUSLY ON MAC OS X? HOW ?

How can I install 2 versions of Firefox, 4.0 and an older one, simultaneously on my Mac under OS X 10.6.7 ?

How can I run both versions of Firefox at the same time?

Alright, so I decided to install the Firefox 4 beta 3 as a test sort of thing. But now it's set as the default browser, and, no matter what I do, I can't switch back to the old one! I can't use any of my old add-ons now!

If you are want to test pre-release versions of Fiefox it is best to use a different profile for each version, and then create shortcuts to launch Firefox using the correct profile for each version. Firefox store user data in profiles, pre-release versions of Firefox can make changes to the profile that cause it not to work in older versions of Firefox.

Can I download a version of Firefox that is compatible with Mac os 10.4.11 with a PPC chip?

I want to use the most recent version of Firefox I can. However, I am using a Mac with operating system 10.4.11 with a PPC chip.
What version of Firefox could I use and where can I find that version to download.

Firefox 4 and later require at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac.

Can i have 2 versions of Firefox on my Mac at the same time?

I currently have Mac OS-10.6.8. I currently use Firefox 30. However, my new financial company specifies FireFox 18 to use its website. Thus, can I use both versions on the same Mac. Thanks for any advice that can be provided.

How can i run a version of Logic 7 on mac OS X 10.9.2?

Hi.
I am running Logic Pro X on a Macbook Pro 2.7 GHz Intel Core i7 running OS X 10.9.2.
However, I have some very old but crucial Logic files from the Logic 4/5 days and need to convert them to my current version of Logic Pro X via Logic 7.
Does anyone have any suggestions about how to instal or run a version of Logic 7 on my Macbook Pro 2.7 GHz Intel Core i7 running OS X 10.9.2?
Also, does anyone know where I can find a version of Logic 7 (Pro or Express)? Otherwise, I'll look on Torrent sites.
Hoping for good news.
Thanks.

To find a copy of LP7 you would need to look for a copy on eBay.. However, the protection method used with LP7 no longer functions so you cannot register it and therefore you cannot use it. unless you have already registered LP7 yourself in the past using the security key dongle provided
Any version of LP7 from a torrent would be an illegal (and most likely non working) version due to the protection that was used at that time... and so posting about it here, was not be wise.
So.. thats why my previous answer was so brief... Simply put, you cannot use LP7 unless you already have a validated and registered security dongle... even if you found a copy of LP7 somewhere
The only practical solution is to find some kind soul who already has a working version of LP7 installed, that you can send the projects to... for them to do the conversion for you.
I would, but I no longer have LP7 installed here on any of my testbed Macs...

How can I run 2 keynote presentations on 2 different macs with only one keyboard?

How can I have 2 different keynote presentations that I want to run simultaneously through 2 different projectors, but I'd like to try and avoid using 2 keyboards - and use a hardware solution, rather than relying on my 2 fingers!! (it's a long conference!!!) thanks for any help.

Open the CSS in DW, and use F10 to open the Code Inspector.

Can't run in browser on latest Linux and Mac with Java7u13 JFX2.2.5

Hi!
I can't start JavaFX 2.2.5 applications in browser(all possible browsers) in Oracle Linux 6.3 x86 and latest MacOS. I have the latest Java 7 u 13 from Oracle.
Neither JavaFX Netbeans sample, my applications nor Ensamble(http://download.oracle.com/otndocs/products/javafx/2.2/samples/Ensemble/index.html) work.
The applications work if I start them as normal apps, but not from the browser.
Java works perfectly on those systems, just that I can't start JFX 2 in browsers.
What should be done? My clients need the flexibility of starting their apps from browsers.
It worked a few versions ago, but now I can't start them. Browsers tell me that I don't have Java. (they show that image with Java that redirects to the page from where I can download Java). I also tried to install just the JRE from that link. I have removed and reinstalled Java.
Is anyone else facing this problem?
Any help would be really useful.

Moreover, trying to run http://java.com/en/download/installed.jsp it fails. It doesn't detect Java neither. It seems that there is a problem with Java Browser Plugin
The outcome for me was (on Win7+JRE7u13+Firefox17), Oracle's Ensemble sample was accessible from the web . . . your mileage may vary . . .
The major browser vendors have blocked earlier versions of Java. In my case - windows 7 + jreu11 + firefox - I got spinning blue dots of doom instead of an applet being launched. The blue dots just sit there and spin forever while nothing happens. This occurred for both the Java installation check and the Ensemble sample applet.
I installed the latest jre offered me from http://java.com, which was java 7u13. When doing this please, remember to uncheck the incredibly stupid default option of also installing the ASK toolbar which is a nasty piece of software.
Then going back to the java.com installation check page, I get a pop-up that an unsigned applet wants to run (check that it doesn't display behind your browser window). This unsigned applet prompt is displayed by default for JREs newer than jre7u11 in order to combat drive by download attacks using unsigned java applets exploiting security holes in the java runtime. I accepted the warning pop-up and the system was able to detect the Java version: "You have the recommended Java installed (Version 7 Update 13)."
Then I went back to the Ensemble sample page: http://download.oracle.com/otndocs/products/javafx/2.2/samples/Ensemble/index.html#SAMPLES - this time (after accepting the strange Signed by UNKNOWN dialog), Ensemble launched instead of displaying never ending spinning blue dots.

Can I have two versions of firefox? i.e. one for work and one for home use?

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 load the previous version of Firefox instead, it worked with a site I need and 4.0 does not?

I have a training website for work that used to run just fine on the old firefox. 4.0 will not run it. My company is aware but doesn't really care to fix the glitch. So, I need the old version back.
Thanks.
Craig

You can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html

After their recent upgrade Facebook no longer works for Firefox version 2.0.0.20, what is the most recent version of Firefox that will function with a Mac G3 running OS 10.3.9?

Facebook (FB) recently restructured their website. After logging on to my FB homepage, some of the graphics are garbled and I am no longer able to post status updates, comment on friend's status updates or pictures, or post pictures using Firefox version 2.0.0.20. I would like to know if there is a newer version of Firefox that will function with a Mac G3 Blue and White desktop running OS 10.3.9 which will be compatible with the new FB? I would upgrade my computer, but have 22+ years of business and tax records that will not function with the newer Mac OS.

Other browsers that you can look at:
* Camino: http://caminobrowser.org/download/releases/
* [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ICab iCab]: http://www.icab.de/dl.php
* SeaMonkey: http://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases/seamonkey1.1.19

Running two versions of Firefox?

Some web-based applications that I use will not work properly with Firefox 3, but will work with Firefox 2. Can I have both versions of Firefox on my iMac and select between them, or will they interfere with each other? Would it help if I put one on my external hard drive and run it from there (if that is possible)?

you can have two versions of FF but you can't run them both from the same account as they will interfere with each other.
You can make a new user account and run FF3 from your main account and FF2 from the new account.
Would it help if I put one on my external hard drive and run it from there (if that is possible)?
no, that would make no difference at all.

After updating to the latest version of Firefox on my Mac there is no progress bar for the page load. I really miss this feature and can't seem to find a way to obtain it.

The page load progress bar that was on the lower right of the window is no longer there. After updating to the latest version of Firefox on my Mac there is no progress bar for the page load. I really miss this feature and can't seem to find a way to obtain it. The tab has a circular progress wheel but this is useless for determining a stuck or slow loading page.
PLEASE NOTE: I am typing this in from a Windows based work computer but am asking about my Apple MacBook Pro that i use at home.

Firefox 4 saves the previous session automatically, so there is no longer need for the dialog asking if you want to save the current session. 
You can use "Firefox > History > Restore Previous Session" to get the previous session at any time. 
There is also a "Restore Previous Session" button on the default about:home Home page. 
Another possibility is to use:
* [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Menu_differences Firefox (Tools) > Options] > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts": "Show my windows and tabs from last time"

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/Creating_a_new_Firefox_profile_on_Windows
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Shortcut_to_a_specific_profile
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox
* https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/firefox-sync (only needed for Firefox 3.6, it is built into Firefox 4)
