How can I have the latest version FF8 installed AND keep my old version until I get used to FF8 ?

I have also fopund that I have a Beta version FF 3.6 Beta 4
I have no idea how this was installed, as I have not done it knowingly and consciously !!!
It does not show up in ALL PROGRAMS from START.....
But does appear in ADD/REMOVE PROGS via Control Panel....also in MY COMPUTER>Program files !!
Both versions work...but my desktop short cut links to FF 3.6.24....and that is what I use all the time. (the Beta version must have been there for some time).....
So this gave me the idea of maybe keeping my current version and also having a separate program FF8.... Until I get used to FF8...(see question https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/897193#answer-277745)
Maybe... 1. Install FF8 to a different location folder..say...Mozilla/Firefoxnew8
2. Rename the existing FF version and create new desktop short cut.
But the only problem I can see in these options is that when FF installs a new update automatically, on start up...... depending on which version I am using at the time...... I presume it will look for folder Mozilla/Firefox..... THEN WHAT WILL HAPPEN ??
Your comments would be Most Welcome and appreciated.

Do a custom install and install each version in its own program folder to use multiple Firefox versions.

Create a new profile exclusively for each Firefox version.<br />
Create a desktop shortcut with -P "profile" appended to the target to launch each Firefox version with its own profile.

  • I'm syncing pics in LR between my iPad and Mac.  Later, how can I remove the pictures from my iPad and keep it on my LR on my Mac?

    I understand the pictures are kept in the Cloud but I want to change my catalog so that it will recognize the pictures only on my Mac.  Then I can clear up space on my iPad. 

    Even though iCloud can back up some content it is intended more to keep multiple iOS devices synced up rather than being a place to back up your content. The Camera Roll is included in the iPad's Backup however there is no way to access the back up's content without Restoring the iPad. If you wipe the photos from the iPad's Photo Roll the new back up file created will also have them removed.
    Photo Stream, also a part of iCloud, is also intended to make your latest photos accessible on your other iOS devices such as iPhones, Apple TVs and Mac computers. It will only hold 1000 of the latest photos and is supposed to delete them after 30 days. This can give you the opportunity to view photos for awhile, back the photos up in a more conventional manner on your computer and share them with others. It is not a back up and is more of a temparary place to view them. Photos should be transferred to a computer which also has  a good back up routine to external sources.
    Even though iCloud can hold your iPad Backup file, the back up file does not contain most media files. The iOS backup file is more for quickly getting your devics settings restored if you have an issue with it or want to set up a new device. Your media files must also live else where in a more permanent back up such as on a computer and an external USB drive. For most actions, iCloud pretty much mirrors your iOS devices, delete something from one device it is gone from them all including iCloud.
    If you want to remove photos then store and view them from an online source use services such as DropBox or other online photo services such as Flickr.

  • HT5318 How can I download the latest version of iTunes to my iPad when I don't have enough space in my local c disc on my laptop?

  • I have just updated to Pages 5.1 and now the templares which I have saved do not displat the header and footer which they were saved with in the previous version.  How can I have the header and footer included when I open a template?

    I have just updated to Pages 5.1 and now the templares which I have saved do not displat the header and footer which they were saved with in the previous version.  How can I have the header and footer included when I open a template?

    That is becuase Pages 5.1 has numerous unnounced surprises for the unwary user.  Among the surprises:
    - it strips out images from headers and footers without warning
    - it strips out bookmarks without wanring (yes, all those bookamrks you laboriously put into a document: poof! Gone.)
    - it strips out alternating left/right margins, without warning.
    There are many more suprises, as you'll see from glancing through these discussions. They fall into two main categories: things that are present in version 4.3 but that are missing in 5.1, things like
    -mail merge
    -meaningful Applescript/Services support
    -non-contiguous text selection
    -ability to set defaul zoom
    -ability to see comments while editing
    -ability to print comments
    -ability to read RTF files
    -ability to drag in hyperlinked ted from a browser
    These about about 90 other features are gone.
    Then there are the bugs.  Hyperlinks do not reliably export to a PDF file any longer. There have been multiple problems with printing report. Some fonts place stray characters in the headers.  Many reports of the program crashing, courrupting files, etc.
    Fortunately for you, the previous version of Pages is still on your system.  Export any documents you may have created or edited with Pages 5.1 (another great surprise: files created with version 5.1 cannot be read by any previous version of Pages: not just 4.3 but even 5.01!).  Then trash 5.1 and use 4.3 until (unless?) it is stable and has a reasonably robust feature set.

    Sorry, Apple has no approved method to downgrade the version of iOS on your iDevice. You can voice your displeasure with the iOS by leaving feedback at the appropriate subsection from the link below.

  • Just upgrade to 33.1.1, terrible! new tab position not configurable, no response for clicking a link, how can I have the old version? Thanks!

    Just upgrade to 33.1.1, terrible! new tab position not configurable, no response for clicking a link, not going to the website by click "enter", "space" keyboard can not be the page down anymore, always die....
    how can I have the old version?
    Thanks!

    Just to clarify, let's say you have tab 1 Google results and tab 2 something else. When you Ctrl+click a link in tab 1, it opens between tab 1 and tab 2 instead of at the end? Here's how you switch that:
    (1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
    (2) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''tabs''' and pause while the list is filtered
    (3) Double-click the '''browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent''' preference to switch it from true to false.
    You can switch back to an earlier tab and test. Success?

    Is it possible to save keynotes on a central place so that multople users  on mac/ipad.iphon can always have the latest version and edit this ?

    If you mean saving the project files;   iCloud, Dropbox, Skydrive will  do this.
    If you mean the application, then definitely not possible.

    <script>(function(d, s, id) {
      var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];
      if (d.getElementById(id)) return;
      js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;

    Now all Likes and Posts are displayed, here i want to display the latest " 4 Posts " only.
    how can i display the latest " 4 Posts".

    Hi,
    As a workaround, we can use jQuery to hide or remove other posts.
    http://www.w3schools.com/jquery/jquery_dom_remove.asp
    You can also connect the Facebook to find whether it provide a api to achieve your requirement or not.
    Or you can try to modify the js file. Facebook provide a debug version of the JavaScript SDK.

  • How can I have the side bar in iTunes 12??

    I just installed iTunes 12 that was claimed to provide "a more pleasant interface for navigation"!?!?
    Personally, I do not find the new view format pleasant at all. I expected to be allowed to go back to the lateral bar visualization, finding it as a view option. It was quite upsetting finding out that the option disappeared from the menue. Did you have the brilliant idea to remove it, or did you simply hide it somewhere else? (I am definitely too old to play "hide and seek" with visualization options and I really do not have the time either)
    Probably, kids like big figures that do not require any reading skill, unfortunately I do not.
    I conclusion, how can I have the side bar visible again in iTunes 12???
    Thank you
    P.S. Playlists is similar to lateral bar, but not the same, as it is not ONE allowing to navigate music, movies, podacast, but one for each.

    The functionality of the sidebar has changed indeed. But what's the problem? Category's of the library have been separated from playlists and moved to one of the top bars. I think it's an improvement for people using iTunes as a media-management tool. In the old version the playlists were at the bottom of the sidebar and if you had all options activated you had to scroll down to find your playlists.
    You don't have to do that anymore. Your music library is now aside with the playlists. If you want to activate another categorie you can use the icons in the topbar and still keep the overview on your playlists.
    People who use iTunes for syncing iDevices seem less happy with this new presentation. It seems a minor adjustment to me, but others seems to think otherwise.

  • I have the latest Pages  5.2 and get a sign saying "INDEX.pages" can't be opened. I have need of some of the documents. What can i do?

                            I have the latest Pages  5.2 and get a sign saying "INDEX.pages" can't be opened. I have need of some of the documents. What can i do?

    Probably you have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
    Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
    Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
    You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
    Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Older versions of Pages 5 can not open Pages 5.2 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5.2 files can not be opened in Pages 5.
    Anything that is saved to iCloud and opened by newer Pages versions anywhere, is also converted to Pages 5 files.
    All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
    Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
    Apple has removed over 95 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

    Archive/trash Pages 5, after exporting all Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

  • In iTunes 11.0.2.26, an Albums search by track names returns albums as if they only have one track on them, but I still want to access the entire album. How can I have the search results show the entire album (with just the searched for name highlighted)?

    Hello, all.
    In iTunes 11.0.2.26, an Albums search by track names returns albums as if they only have one track on them, but I still want to access the entire album. How can I have the search results show the entire album (with just the searched for name highlighted)? For instance, I'm wanting to play an album with a particular track on it or I'm searching for albums that include that track. iTunes incorrectly assumes that all I'm after is that one track and then incorrectly displays the album as if there is only one ttrack on it. This is a bonkers default setting. Can I change this?

    Click the search magnifying glass and uncheck "Search entire library".
    Type in the name of the track.
    Click the album of interest to show tracks.
    Select the track.
    Press the X in the search box to clear the search.
    Double click the track you want to start playing first.
