I have two Firefox profiles. The default is updated to the latest version. The second profile is version 3.6.25. I cannot get the second profile to update to the latest version. How do I do that?

I do not have administrative authority on this computer but it has never been a problem before with updating.

Thanks Corel. The computer I use at work is the one I'm having problems on. I also do work at home (where I am now) so I also have two Firefox profiles set up on my home computer. On my home computer when I updated the first profile both profiles updated, so I know it SHOULD work that way. On my work computer I did do the Help, About, version check and it told me I had the older version and needed to update, ran me through the update process but still the second profile was not updated. I will try the other two links, if the computer will let me since I'm not an administrator on it. That probably won't be until Monday. I don't really want to bug our director about it because she is so busy. I know that the Shockwave Flash and Java Plugins are outdated but they require administrator privileges to do. Something else I just thought of, every time I start that second profile at work it was saying Firefox was not my default browser, did I want to make it the default browser, I would agree, but still it would happen the next time. When I go into Tools, Options and look, it says Firefox IS my default browser. I finally told it not to check each time it starts. I don't know if this is connected to my original issue or not. Thanks for the advice and I will check it out next week and let you know how things go.

How to have two Firefox in the same machine?

I have Firefox installed from the repo (Namoroka), but I also want to have another version to use exclusively with Tor.
Downloading it from Mozilla's official website and running the executable doesn't work because it opens Namoroka. How should it be done?

You can create a 2nd profile with: firefox -ProfileManager (you have to close all firefox instances to do that)
Then, you can start a 2nd firefox with the new profile: firefox -P <profilename> -no-remote

I want to add a desktop app to Mozilla Firefox, so I can unpin firefox from the takbar. How do I do that?

I use a Windows 8.1 operating system. Not the RT version or a new version; just the standard version of Windows 8.1. I have an app for Mozilla Firefox on my start screen, and one pinned to my task bar. I deleted the shortcut to Firefox from the desktop, and deleted it from the hard drive, but now I wish I hadn't I can't find an operating system option to create another shortcut, and I can't find the same or similar option on Firefox. Please help. Thanks.

Hi, I have Win 7, so can only generalize, but I would enter '''Firefox''' into the PCs search box, then right click > Send To Desktop.
Hope that may help.

If I have two accounts for the same server, how do I save both Passwords?

Is it possible to have the FireFox password save feature remember the passwords for two different accounts on the same server? For instance, I log into both my own account and my wife's account at Chase Bank for our credit cards, mine is a business card and hers is a personal card (of which I also have a card). I would like FF to remember both accounts and when I arrive at the server, FF to ask me which one I want to use.

Make sure that you not run Firefox in permanent Private Browsing mode.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Private+Browsing
* You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Firefox > Preferences > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"
* To see all History and Cookie settings, choose: Firefox > Preferences > Privacy, choose the setting <b>Firefox will: Use custom settings for history</b>
* Deselect: [ ] "Permanent Private Browsing mode"

HT204266 If I have a play list of various artists and on this list I have two tracks from the same album how can I combine those two tracks to play as one if I am using the shuffle feature?

An example would be Jackson Browne's "The Load Out" &" Stay".They should play one after the other but in a play
list on shuffle setting they don't. How do I combine two songs so they play as one in a shuffled playlist

When I import my music files to iTunes will I be creating new files for every file I import? If the answer is YES; where are those files going to be stored and how much space will they use?
To begin with you can't manage FLAC in iTunes. The use of iTunes is at this moment limited to WAV, AIFF, Apple Lossless, AAC and MP3. But that's not a problem because if I understand you correctly you want to organize the MP3-files in iTunes.
When you import music files you can let iTunes copy all files and put it in an iTunes-media-Folder. You can make the choice in preferences-->tab advanced.
If you deselect the second blue checkbox (sorry, in Dutch) iTunes won't copy files as you import the files in your library. It will use the files from the place they are on the disk now. So you have a choice. But if you want iTunes to copy them, they will be placed in a folder called iTunesMedia. This is how it placed on your disk.
All files will be put in one music folder well ordered by artist and albums. If you want to make a backup of all your music you just have to copy the iTunes folder to another disk. You can backup all music at once. How much space they will use depends on the bitrate of the MP3 and whether you add more tagging to it. You can have iTunes add album artwork. That means adding gif or jpg files to your library. Are you using bitrate 320 for your MP3?
If you tell me I can give you estimates on the disk-space you will need.

How to sync two firefox profiles, everything except localstore.rdf

Yesterday, I asked about linking cache between two firefox profiles:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/925836
And I got to thinking. The only reason I'm even making a second profile is to have two "saved window locations" for multi-monitor purposes. I want these profiles to be EXACTLY the same except for the location in which they are opened (which is saved in localstore.rdf). It occurred to me that with my current setup in the above thread, even though the caches are now linked.. I will still have to change bookmarks twice. Have two different histories, saved passwords, etc. All minor inconveniences at best, but it would still be nice to avoid them!
Like I said, I want these profiles identical except for the locations in which they are opened. I know there are extensions for syncing profiles, but they all seem to be 1 star performance hindering messes. I'd rather do it manually, as I did with the cache. Possible?

I do not know enough to give a proper answer but some comments that may help:
I am not sure I follow what you ask. Is the saved Windows location you are interested in the coordinates and size of the Window that Firefox view opens in ?
I have never worked with [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Localstore.rdf localstore.rdf], but I have often manually edited [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profiles.ini_file profiles.ini] which points to the profile, that in turn contains the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Places.sqlite places.sqlite] (bookmarks and history database) and your cache.
If you are interested in the cachecontents:
* use about:cache
* note there are addons that help with viewing cache content
I am not too clear on what you are doing. If you use ''-no-remote'' and start up a Firefox instance with a particular profile then that sees the same bookmarks as any other instance or version of Firefox started with the same profile, but a profile can not be opened twice simultaneously by Firefox. (My understanding of what you say in the other thread is that you have no problem with that.)
Rather clunky and slow, but you could consider writing simple DOS batch files that will modify commandlines or copy files as part of launching Firefox.

Is it possible to have two Firefox browsers (3&20) on the same OS?

I have been using my 3.6.28 Firefox for more than 3 years and still want to use it in the future. Some functions are not working when I visit websites so I need to install the newest as to see them. I have Google Chrome as my second browser but would like to swap it for the latest Firefox. Read on some forum that its not possible to have two Firefox browsers on the same Win OS. Is it possible to have both my old Firefox 3 and Firefox 20 installed on the same Win XP OS as teo different programs?

Yes it is possible, but you need to create a new profile for the 2nd version.

I recently changed jobs and no longer have access to the computer that contained my Firefox bookmarks. I don't have a Firefox profile. Is there any way to find and transfer my bookmarks to my new computer?

I recently changed jobs and no longer have access to the computer that contained my Firefox bookmarks. I don't have a Firefox profile. Is there any way to find and transfer my bookmarks to my new computer?

If you don't have access to the old computer any longer, '''no'''. Unless you were using something like the Google Toolbar & Google Bookmarks or Xmarks, which would have your bookmarks in an online account that you could access. Firefox doesn't include an online storage feature for personal data, yet. That is coming in a future version.
If you have a friend at your old job maybe they have access to that old PC and they could export your bookmarks to a file and email that file to you.

As your iTunes is up to date, remove the SC Info folder.

I have used Firefox for the last number of years but now it crashes upon opening.

I have used Firefox for the last number of years but now it crashes upon opening. I have unistalled and installed (version 6) but still it crashes. It does not start in safe mode either. I have read the various help support but I seem to be going around in circles. I am not a computer geek so please bear with me. Thank you.

Create a new profile exclusively for the 4.0 beta version and create a desktop shortcut with -P "profile" appended to the target to launch that profile.

I have two icons on the taskbar

On previous versions of Firefox, in Windows 7 Ultimate, I have it pinned to the taskbar, and I used to open from there and it opened normally and the icon stayed. Now, in the new version (6.0.2) I want to do the same but when I start the Firefox, in the taskbar appears another icon than the usual, so I have two Firefox icons in the taskbar and I don´t want to have two, but I want to keep it pinned to the taskbar.

Launch Firefox using the icon on the taskbar. When it opens and you see the second icon appear, right click on the ORIGINAL one and select 'unpin from the taskbar' - the original icon will disappear. Then right click the second icon and select 'pin to taskbar'.
Close & open Firefox again to verify that this has solved the problem.
Hopefully should be job done!

In iPad 1 ios 4 may have two ipad Apps the same from two accounts itunes

In iPad 1 ios 4 may have two ipad Apps the same from two accounts itunes one free other paid account, hence one free App and another paid App the same App?

If both accounts are authorised on your computer's iTunes (Store > Authorise This Computer) then you can download the books from both accounts to there (download the books from one account, then sign out of it via Store > Sign Out, log in with the other account via Store > Sign In and download the books from the other account), and sync them over to the iPad's iBooks app via the Books tab.
Or you might be able to sign out of your account on the iPad by tapping on it Settings > Store and sign in with the other account and download the books from that account - I think that it should work, but it's not something that I've tried so I'm not 100% sure that it will

I have two phones under the same apple ID and I want to put them on separate apple IDs, how do I do this??

If you sign out of an Apple ID under Settings > iCloud, you should be prompted for an option to 'Keep on my iPhone' in regards to Contacts and other related data. Then, when signing in with another Apple ID on that same iPhone, you should be prompted to 'Merge'. If you do both, then you won't lose any Contacts, and the iCloud Contacts will then be merged into the new Apple ID iCloud, but also will stay on the old Apple ID iCloud.
In the future, it might be best to post your own question thread instead of bumping a thread that is over two years old.

I have two Firefox profiles. The default is updated to the latest version. The second profile is version 3.6.25. I cannot get the second profile to update to the latest version. How do I do that?
