Is there a way to configure 2 Firefox browsers, each with it's own independent and seperate privacy settings, add-ons, cookies, bookmarks, toolbars, etc.?

I love Firefox, but I have 2 distinctly different needs. I need 2 separate Firefox browsers with very different settings, consistent with very different uses:
1. This use of Firefox will be for visiting many different websites, a wide variety of interests.
2. I need this use of Firefox to be very limited and restricted, consistent with handling personal investments, banking, financial transactions. There will be very few websites, but with extremely secure, private, connections.

You can do that with multiple Firefox user Profiles.

    For some websites that I visit every day, it is a pain to have to log in every time. (e.g., Zap2it, which provides TV listings in your local area). However, I like setting Tools/Options/Privacy to keep all cookies until I close Firefox. I would like to be able to configure Firefox so that all cookies would be removed EXCEPT those I specify. If I could do this, I would not have to log in every time.

    You can't use [[Clear Recent History]] if you want to keep specific cookies by setting an exception.
    "Clear Recent History" is all or nothing.
    You can let the cookies expire if you close Firefox if you need to preserve specific cookies.
    Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Keep until": "I close Firefox"

  • How do I re-install a new firefox 7 (or even revert to 6) and keep my settings & add-ons?

    Sigh, wish I'd never upgraded. FF7 has been a hassle because of the constant crashes and unexpected slowdowns on numerous web sites (I have a decent computer, intel i5, 8gb ram, but I also have 1-2 dozen tabs open most of the time).
    I'm thinking maybe a fresh start on firefox (I've been on this "profile" for several years now) may help. But I don't want to lose all the add-ons I've put in (including some of the ones I've disabled, but would like to keep anyway, since they may be useful in the future).
    I can recover my bookmarks and firefox settings through Firefox sync, I assume. I have my passwords saved locally using roboform, and I don't care about my history, etc.
    So, how do I re-install a new copy of firefox 7 (or maybe even revert back to 6) and get my add-ons back (a better way than making a list and installing each individually) and possibly keep some of the settings of these add-ons (I know some of them will let me export their settings)? Thanks.

    Firefox 8 comes out Nov 8, look for it on the 9th unless you like to try all day to see if Help>About shows an update. Actually if your anxious try mozilla.com on the 8th.

  • Why is firefox defaulting to yahoo search i tried reinstalling and can find no add ons or plugins

    still see yahoo/avast on the search line on start up of firefox also in any further searches it goes to yahoo cant find it in extensions or add ons or add remove programs
    checked the question sites

    If you see Avast then it is likely that Avast software is causing this issue and you need to check the settings in that program and also disable extensions added by Avast to Firefox.

  • Is there any way to force Firefox to remember passwords?

    As many have complained about, there is a growing trend for websites to prevent browsers, including Firefox, from remembering passwords. This is absolutely infuriating. Like most people, I have on the order of 100 passwords, and thanks to idiotic, overzealous IT guys who need to justify their own jobs, we are forced to constantly change them to ludicrous, impossible-to-remember combinations of symbols and numbers. (Does anybody really get their accounts stolen because some hacker sits down and tries to guess their password? Somehow I find that very, very hard to believe.)
    First world problems, I know. My question though is simple: is there any way to force Firefox to remember passwords? Perhaps an add-on or external program of some kind? I know there are password manager programs, but the last time I checked, those were all but worthless and didn't work as well as the built-in Firefox support for remembering passwords. Thanks for any help.

    hello andrew, yes you can either [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/remember-passwords/ install an addon] or [https://www.squarefree.com/bookmarklets/forms.html#remember_password use a bookmarklet] to circumvent this restriction.
    in an upcoming version of firefox, this functionality will also be built-in directly into the browser: http://www.ghacks.net/2013/12/24/firefox-29-save-fill-autocompleteoff-passwords/

  • Is there a way of putting firefox bookmarks folder on the dock

    Is there a way of putting firefox bookmarks folder on the dock. not just one bookmark. i have done that. but i want all of them in stack or something.. similar to how windows did it in the start menu. its annoying that you have to open firefox first to access your links.
    i got my first imac yesterday and loving it!!! albeit the text is a bit small but i have found the zoom!
    thanks in advance

    Perhaps you don't know how to bring icons into the Firefox  Toolbar. You can put many things up there, including Bookmarks. You can also remove an icon or rearrange the order of icons.
    From View>Toolbars>Customize
    Here is the Bookmarks icon (next to the History icon) from which you can open all your bookmarks directly. And if you can remember a keyword, it will find that one, or any others that come up with that keyword. It's really quite convenient to use and will stay updated with any new bookmarks that are added.
    This is showing the Bookmarks open, which can be closed by clickng on the small x.

  • Federal court website gives a .pl document which opens as garbage until we manually change it to .pdf, is there any way to get Firefox to do this automatically?

    I am using a Mac. When downloading a document from the federal court website using Firefox, we get a .pl document which opens as garbage (in TextEdit) until we manually change it to .pdf, which causes it to open just fine (in Preview). It used to work fine, giving a .pdf document every time, but apparently upgrades to Firefox have removed this functionality. As far as I can tell my computer, an iMac running Mac system OS X 10.10.1, does not recognize the .pl format. Is there any way to get Firefox to automatically convert a downloaded file from .pl format to .pdf format? My friend tells me that Google Chrome downloads these documents with no problem. I would prefer to stick with Firefox but I might have to change if every downloaded document is in an unreadable format.
    This is a typical example of what I get when I try to open a .pl document (the pdf version is a one page document using plain English):
    =====
    %PDF-1.5

    is there a way to run a external ssd with my mid 2011 iMac hdd in a raid configuration and basically have a fusion drive

    A Fusion Drive is not a RAID; it's a CoreStorage logical volume group. While it's technically possible to do as you suggest, there would be little or no benefit from it.

  • Is there a way to configure NTFS file system on an NSS 324 SmartStorage unit. So far I can setup ext 3 or ext 4 but no option for NTFS

    Is there a way to configure NTFS file system on an NSS 324 SmartStorage unit. So far I can setup ext 3 or ext 4 but no option for NTFS. This unit should be joining a Windows Server 2008 R2 network and needs to be shared with all users. This unit will replace a File server running Win 2003 SP2.
    Message was edited by: Hermann Koster
    Thank you very much for your reply. The idea is to decommission the Windows file server which is running Windows Server 2003 SP2 operating system but is not running as a DC but just a member server. All this server is doing is providing file server services so my idea is to replace it with the NSS 324 box. My only concern is that when my NSS joins the domain all my users would be able to see and access network shares transparently, the same way they saw the former W2003 file server. After I transferred the data from File server I will use the same for NSS that was used for file server as well as same IP address and folders path as before.
    Any suggestions or advice?
    Once again thank you very much for your reply.
    Cheers,

    The internal HDDs must be formatted in either EXT3 or EXT4 file system because NSS uses Linux OS.  This is mainly because the RAM designed to fit with the customized Linux OS's size.
    You can connect to an external HDD via a  USB or eSATA port. The external HDD's file system can be NTFS, FAT32, AFT or EXT3/4 to be recognized for read/write. You can connect a 2TB USB/eSATA drive connec to the NSS via USB port to format your HDD for NTFS, AFT, FAT32, or EXT3/4 partition.
    You can join the NSS to a Windows domainr so all domain users to access NSS. You cannot replace the NSS for the Windows 2003 SP2 server. They are two different products and do different jobs. Windows server is features sets server while the NSS is the files/data server.
    Hope that helps!!

  • Is there a way of getting Firefox to automaticly import the Explorer settings upon install?

    Hi!
    I'm trying to repack Firefox 3.6.3 into a MSI for a deployment install trough-out our organization. Since we're using Explorer as the default browser at the moment our users have all their bookmarks and such stored in Explorer. Now I'm wondering..
    Is there a way of getting Firefox to automaticly import the Explorer settings upon install?
    -Without having the wizard popup.
    I also don't want Firefox to be the default browser since the users have to decide for them self. But atleast they have there bookmarks / defaultpage and proxy settings if they decide to go for Firefox.
    Regards
    //MSI-Packager

    I'm not sure if you have the capability, but did you try copying from your premiere sequence and then pasting into your after fx timeline? i was working with a MUCH shorter video with a mix of merged clips (interview footage) and video clips (b-roll). the video clips imported, but the merged clips did not. i put the timeline cursor to the right point in the after fx timeline, copied the premiere clip from the sequence, pasted it into after fx.

  • Is there a way to open a new window with one site when the home setting on Firefox has multiple websites?

    While working in Firefox is there a way to open a new window with one site when the home setting on Firefox has multiple websites?

    I guess I'm not explaining myself fully. I have a home page designation in firefox preferences that starts firefox up with 5 sites. that pretty fills up my screen with tabs.
    At some point I want to initiate another WINDOW in firefox (NOT a tab). I would like to be able to open up a window that ONLY has ONE tab, or as if there were only one site designated as the home page. This gives me a workspace that has my most useful sites available in tabs in one window, and also another WINDOW that I can move around in and even create more tabs without messing up my primary set of TABS (in my primary window). I see how this might not be doable without doing what I do now, which is open up a new window, and then close tabs until the new window just has one tab for me to work from.

  • I was running KeyPassFox with Firefox 8.0.1, but the plugin does not work in the new release (9) . Is there a way to restore my previous version with all of my bookmarks intact? I do not mind if I have to restore the plugins myself.

    I was running KeyPassFox with Firefox 8.0.1, but the plugin does not work in the new release (9) . Is there a way to restore my previous version with all of my bookmarks intact? I do not mind if I have to restore the plugins myself.
    The plugin shows on the list as enabled and functioning, yet the tool does not show on the toolbar. It would appear that I need to restore the previous version of Firefox and wait until a newer release of the plugin is available before upgrading the browser.

    I copied the iTunes file from the external drive and it's in both places.  I thought all I would need is the iTunes program (which I downloaded to new computer) and my iTunes library file.  There must be something else that's missing.  My iTunes library looks the same on the new computer as it does when I open it on the external drive.  If I click on an iTunes library song from my new computer, it will only play if I have the external drive plugged in.
    My back-up drive is a mess.  I have multiple copies of music, video, photo, and document files and I don't know how that happened. ={  Obviously, I don't know how to back up stuff properly and there are back-up files extending over a 6- to 8-year period.  I think all I did was just drag and drop the main folders from the back-up drive to the same main folders on the C: drive.  Also (and I'm kind of fuzzy on this) Windows used to automatically save music files in a folder within my document files (which makes no sense to me).  As my Jewish friends would say, "Oy Vey!" 

  • Is there a way to stop Firefox from suggesting to add new search engines to my search bar?

    Is there a way to stop Firefox from suggesting to add new search engines to my search bar whenever I visit websites that suggest to us to add their search engines?
    I searched a lot and couldn't find any help. How to stop websites from suggesting to my Firefox search bar to add their search engines? I don't want to add other search engines other than the ones I organized. I don't want my list to look more distracting and longer.

    Firefox doesn't do that. That's either a feature of the website you are visiting or possible Malware on that PC.
    A screenshot of that might be helpful. <br />
