How do I set up different versions of FF so that they do not interact?

Changes to the 'safety' of FF mean that some HTML script applications will not allow loading of a file from your own hard drive through Windows File Picker. This eliminates use of FF for some hobby research.
I've tried to install 2.0.0.20 [latest version with this working] and then use current versions for on line. However they interact, using the same profile and preferences.
Can I have two, independent versions on the same computer? How is it set up to keep them completely 'isolated'? Two drives are available [and tried!]
Until I can solve this, I've reverted to version 2-20
Thanks!

Doesn't make any difference the answer is still the same, did you read the MozillaZine links that John99 provided, you can ONLY have one default browser. Your separate versions of Firefox and profiles that are not the default firefox and profile must all use '''-no-remote''' or you will be in trouble.

  • HT4436 How do you set up icloud on all devices so that they communicate

    how do I set up my icloud on my iphone and macbook so that they communicate with each other

    This can get a little confusing, your AppleID account has an email address associated with it, and a user ID.  The iCloud account can be the AppleID account, but only if the AppleID is an email address.  The iCloud account ID must be an email address.  And, if you have made the ID: [email protected], then you cannot change that account.  But you can change the AppleID account to match.
    See the iCloud FAQ for more info.

  • So I have an Ipod Touch and an Iphone, the ipod has now been given to my daughter how can I set a different password and account for that??

    So I am trying to almost totally reset my ipod so my daughter can have it and not have a credit card attached and also i want a different appleID--Is this possible?? any how??

    First create a new ID by:
    How do I get an Apple ID?
    You may already have an Apple ID, and you only need one for everything you do with Apple. If you aren't sure, visitMy Apple ID and click "Find out."
    If you don't have an Apple ID, you can create one at My Apple ID. You can also create one by signing up for an Apple service (such as an iTunes Store or iCloud). You should use your primary email address as your Apple ID.
    What happens when you try to create a new account? Error message?

  • How can I set the new version of firefox so that things I write in journals and other things are remembered in case I accidentally navigate away from the page?

    In Firefov version 3 there is a feature that will remember what I have typed in a journal or note entry before posting it. This is not like an autofill because the test disappears if I navigate too many pages away from it. The usefulness of it was that if I accidentally navigated away from the page before sending my message or posting my journal, I could just press the back button and what I had written previously would still be there. I had to return to version 3.6.19 because version 5 does not seem to have this feature enabled unless you preform a very specific routine. You have to re-enable the ability of firefox to save tabs when exiting. then you have to close down firefox while saving the tab with the page you wish to write a journal on pulled up. Then when you bring firefox back up, you can type on the saved page and if you accidentally navigate away from it, you can hit the back button and it is saved. However, this goes away when you refresh the page or try it on any other page. I would like to know if it would be possible for me to enable this feature on firefox 5, or if I will have to continue using version 3.

    Try using this extension. <br />

  • How do I set the size of the font so that it does not change from site to site or page to page?

    The font size happens when I visit a new site or move from page to page in any given site. I want to have the same size font at all times with out having to manually change it all the time.

    If you need to adjust the font size on websites then look at:

  • HT204053 How do I wipe certain contacts from I-cloud so that they do not appear on my i-phone 5?

    How do I wipe certain contacts from I-cloud so thatthey do not appear on I-phone 5 after backing up with I-cloud on phone please?

    As an experiment, try this way.
    You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
    Plug the USB flash drive (works the same with an SD card) into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
    Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

    you can't, GB is restricted to a single time signature per project
    however, the time sig is really more cosmetic, it doesn't affect the way the project plays back, so you could set the project to 2/4 when working on the 2/4 parts, and 3/4 when working on the 3/4 parts

  • I need Firefox 10.0 or 19.25 instead of 24.0, how do I get a different version?

    Firefox version 24.0 is not compatible with a website I frequent. I was told I need to use FIrefox 10.0 ,19.25 or Explorer 9.0 for the documents to be compatible. How do I download a different version of Firefox?

    In what way is Firefox not compatible with that website?
    Is that a problem with the user agent that is detected wrongly?

    If you've purchased a previous version, you can download older installers from this page: Download Acrobat products | Standard, Pro | DC, XI, X (you'll need your serial number to complete the installation).

    Yes, since you are trying to keep things separate, that is exactly what you would do.

  • How do I set the thumbnail image of my videos that export to my computer?  I'm using Premiere Elements 11 on a windows 8.1 PC 64bit.

    How do I set the thumbnail image of my videos that export to my computer?  I'm using Premiere Elements 11 on a windows 8.1 PC 64bit.
    Or how does Premiere 11 determine where to set the image for the video it is exporting? 
    I already know how to use Freeze frame and save the image to my computer by Publish+Share/Computer/ Immage.
    Thanks,

    This is not Adobe. Rather user to user. We are all visitors here.
    Just a bit of history....back in the days of Premiere Elements 4, you could set a "poster frame" in what was called the Project area. You did this by right clicking a blank area there and, from the drop down menu that appeared, selecting View/Preview Area, and using the poster frame feature there.
    As I said, when a video imports into Premiere Elements, the thumbnail of the import has been presenting as the first frame of the video. With this Preview area "poster frame" option, you could set the video's thumbnail in the Project area so that the first frame was another frame in the video. But, this "perk" was restricted to thumbnails of the video in Project area.
    If you exported to file with the first frame modified video, the export's thumbnail in Windows Explorer would present with other than the real first frame or the poster frame as the first frame.
    Also, in more recent versions, I have observed that the export to file does not display the real first frame of the video in Windows Explorer. Seems random, but I have not kept track.
    And, remember, at the onset I wrote
    As far as I have ever seen, Premiere Elements Windows uses the first frame of the video for its thumbnail in the program.
    I know of no way within Premiere Elements to control what the program opts to do in this matter. In some compatibility
    issues, it opts to give no image but a generic one.
    I did not say that you can expect to have the Premiere Elements' export file's thumbnail in Windows displaying with its real first frame. And, the more you get into this, depending on the versions, more details need to be added to my comment about "...first frame of video for its thumbnail in the program..."
    I would have to look into all this further to get perspective on the contributing factors.

    Add On...The Poster Frame feature appeared in versions 4, 7, 8, and 9 by my count.

  • How do I set Firefox to open new windows in a separate window (not in tabs)?

    How do I set Firefox to open new windows in a separate window (not in tabs)?

    Click the orange Firefox button, and click "Options". This will bring up a new window with a "Tabs" tab at the top. Click that. There will be several checked boxes, including one called "Open new windows in a new tab instead" up at the top of the list. Uncheck that box and you should be good to go.
    ETA: This should also work if you click "Tools" and "Options" within your version.
