I seem to be running two versions of firefox at the same time help!
I seem to be running an older version and a new version of firefox at the same time. I run the new version from startup (it forgets previous tabs from last session) and this sadly does not let me use back and forward arrow buttons so its a bit useless. Strangely when I pop an email window up, the older version of firefox appears with the last few tabs I had browsed.
disabling plugins stops browser starting in new version and back and forward arrows work ok.
any help much appreciated!
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.

Yes, there is: on two separate computers.
You cannot run two versions of Dreamweaver simultaneously on
the same
computer. They can coexist side by side, but the operating
system will
not let you run them together.

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.

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 run two copies of FrameMaker at the same time?
I am trying to learn Structured FrameMaker. Is it possible/legal/safe to start two copies of FrameMaker on my PC at the same time?
Specifically I want to have one copy open in Structured FM to experiment and the other copy in Unstructured to take notes on what I am learning. I am trying to see if I understand the concepts by writing up a tutorial but I do not want to be locked into structured mode when do not have a template which covers all of my needs ( I am still figuring them out) and I do not yet really understand what the structured templates do.
Will the documents save by the rules of the window they are in? What other problems will/could I encounter?
Thanks,
MarjorieMarjorie,<p>If your machine has sufficient disk space and memory, yes, you can run multiple copies of FrameMaker at once. To run the different user interfaces at the same time, you'd have to start both copies. Then, change the user interface in one copy. Since the change doesn't take affect until you restart FrameMaker, shut down that copy and start a new one (leaving the first user interface in effect in the other original copy.<p>All that said, I suspect you can do the testing you want in one copy of FrameMaker, using the Structured FrameMaker user interface. The structured user interface simply means you can work with structured documents; you can also work with unstructured documents. Each document is independently structured or unstructured; in fact, each flow is independently structured or unstructured. You might therefore consider using the structured user interface and opening one structured and one unstructured document in a single copy of FrameMaker. Or create a single document with side-by-side flows and put structured content in one and unstructured content in the other.<p>Just remember that some of the dialog boxes are slightly different in the two user interfaces. For example, the marker, anchored frame, insert table, and cross-reference dialog boxes all let you select an element tag. Since there are no element tags in an unstructured flow, the element tag text boxes in these dialog boxes shows <Unstructured>. If you are willing to ignore these differences, I recommend you do your experimentation in a single copy of FrameMaker.<p>--Lynne

Running two instances of kopete at the same time?
I have 2 MSN Messenger accounts and want to login to both of them at the same time.
Obviously running them both from the my single user doesn't work. and I don't want to run one of them as root. (altho it does work.) I also tried creating another user just for this purpose and running kopete via 'su user2', and it doesn't work. I also tried gksu and no luck.
any suggestions?well it is possible, and it is the best solution, but as a side note, to get X applications running as another user you need to:
userthatisrrunningX@myhost ~ xhost +localhost
otheruser@myhost ~ kopete
if you want to run something as root the prefered way to do this in kde is to use kdesu.. -
[Solved?] Installing multiple versions of Firefox at the same time
I would like to install the normal Firefox in the repositories and also firefox-pgo-minefield-smp from the AUR so that I may use either one as desired.
Looking at the current PKGBUILD from http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=33506 (pkgbuild @ http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/firef … p/PKGBUILD ) I am thinking that perhaps I would modify this line:
export LDFLAGS="-Wl,-rpath,/usr/lib/firefox-$_prever -Wl,-O1,--sort-common,--hash-style=gnu,--as-needed"
to reflect the path where I would like to install it like so:
export LDFLAGS="-Wl,-rpath,/opt/firefox-$_prever -Wl,-O1,--sort-common,--hash-style=gnu,--as-needed"
And then presumably fix my symlink at /usr/bin/firefox to point back to /usr/lib/firefox-2.6 again. (and also fix the menu links and I realize I would have to use an ugly 'pacman -U tarball --force' to install it -- there's got to be a better way as that is very ugly and wrong surely???? Perhaps modify the pkgname as well as conflicts and provides so I could install it more normally?)
Correct? Would I also need to modify a prefix or such besides this and if so where in the pkgbuild (ideally) or source would you recommend (must I change the actual makefile or does my modification in the PKGBUILD take care of this? Would you in your experience recommend another approach for this?
I thought it wise to ask here before hacking away with this stuff and possibly hosing my system in unforeseen ways. Please forgive my greenness. I have spent a few hours researching this but still am not quite sure thus I ask. While I think I could do it with a straight compile with a modified configure I'm unsure of how to do it best using the arch tools...
Thanks for your time.

^ A dirty hack to download the latest nightly of the electrolysis tree, pgo optimized for an intel i686 P4 (not native to get around the seg fault bug). I just commented out the .desktop files as well as the icon for now. Also the conflicts and provides section have merely been commented out. The goal is to have this work independently from the standard firefox allowing me to run both on the system at the same time.
Anyone see anything that I have missed and could fix as far as doing the separate install in /opt using makepkg and the pkgbuild? I've been using arch less than a month and this is the first I've really hacked with a PKGBUILD and mozconfig so I feel I could really use the help. Any insight appreciated greatly.

Running two version of BEA on the same box
Can we run both 6.1 and 8.1 on the same box using the same license?
Also Is it possible to take a backup of existing verions which is 6.1 and install weblogic 8.1 and if something goes wrong revert back to the backup state

How to use two different versions of Firefox at the same time on Snow Leopard?
I recently upgraded to Firefox 4.0 on my 27" iMac running Snow Leopard 10.6.7.
Previously, I was using Google's "Page Speed" along with Firebug in Firefox 3.6.15 to optimize images in my web pages, and to find other areas to optimize.
Page Speed is not yet compatible with Firefox 4.0. I wrote to Google about this some time ago -- no answer yet.
If I run Firefox 3.6.15 in order to use Page Speed, I run into a few problems afterward when I start using Firefox 4.0 again, since they both use the same "Firefox" folder in my "Application Support" folder.
How can I set it up so that I can have two separate "Firefox" folders in my "Application Support" folder?
Or is there an easier way to use two different versions of Firefox simultaneously, even if one has extensions and/or plug-ins installed which are not compatible with the other version?
Thanks for a great browser!Please disregard my question. I just conducted more web search and learned how to use Firefox's profile manager in order to make a separate profile for Firefox 3.6.15.
You can find instructions on this page:
http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Managing%20profiles#os=mac&browser=fx35
'''A small tip:'''
If your Firefox app is named anything other than "Firefox" -- say for example "Firefox 3.6.15" -- when you follow the instructions at the above link, make sure you escape the blank space that is before the version number by adding a backward slash before it, when you type the command string in the Terminal. In other words, in that string, you should use this:
Firefox\ 3.6.15
I hope that helps someone.

How to run two DAQmx Read (Analog) at the same time?
I would like to measure a voltage and a current,
but the two cannot be conbined in one task.
Therefore, I had to use two DAQmx Read in the same program. But it did not run.Multiple channel types can be combined in a single DAQmx Read. One way is to use multiple DAQ Create Channel fucntions. Look at the posting here and the second example at the link in the answer.

Can I run two instances of mail at the same time?
To avoid accidentally sending an email from the wrong account, I want to use an email program (that can access an Exchange account) "dedicated" to just that account. To do this, I think have to use either Mail or Outlook. I don't have Outlook, and use Mail for my other accounts.
So, can I duplicate the Mail program (on another of the internal drives if that would help) and use it exclusively for this one account or would it screw everything up?In that case the only other way I know you can do it is to set up an alternative user account on the mac, which will give you two separate instances of Mail (the one you already have and a new one in the new user account).
To do that, go here
> System Preferences... > Users & Groups
and create a new user by first clicking the padlock at the bottom, entering your password, and then clicking the '+' button just above the padlock. Fill out the account details and enable 'fast switching' in the options so you can easily switch between the two mac user accounts.
Log in to the new user's account and create the work email account in Mail. -
When I try to access the interactive sites on Princeton Review I politely receive this message:

''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.

Run 2 versions of FF on the same computer
Is it possible to run 2 versions of FF on the same OS
Yes it is possible, don't use the same profile, and you will have to use "-no-remote" on the one that is not your default browser and/or not your default profile.

Can we run 2 versions of Apex on the same Oracle database ?
Can we run both Apex 3.1 & Apex 4.0 versions on the same database ?
Instead of upgrading my 3.1 to Apex 4.0, I wanted to know if I can run 2 versions of Apex on the same database simultaneouslyHello,
>> Can we run both Apex 3.1 & Apex 4.0 versions on the same database ?
No you can’t. The APEX 4.0 installation script will automatically detect the 3.1 instance and it will be upgraded.
