Multiple versions in firefox

I love flash games but also love firefox. It seems to be the best browser for the games I like. Unfortunatly different versions work better for different games. Is it possible to have multiple versions that I can switch to when needed. I need 11.1, 11.4 and 11.6

I don't know of a simple switcher. In general, the latest version should perform as good as the past versions for all content but I do realize that isn't always the case for every system. You might want to give our 11.7 beta a try, we'd like to hear your feedback on how it performs with the content you use.

Why does Windows shows multiple versions of Firefox installed?

I am running Firefox 11.0 on Windows 7 home premium 64 bit OS. Firefox seems to be working fine.
When I check the list of installed programs in the Windows control panel I see two versions of Firefox listed (11.0 and 10.0.2). Is this normal? Does the installer not remove older versions when it does an update? Is is safe for me to uninstall the older version?
By the way, same situation for Thunderbird. It shows both 10.0.2 and 9.0.1!

It sometimes happens that the updater doesn't remove the old entry in the installed programs section and thus shows multiple versions as installed. You usually only have the most recent version installed and will remove that version if you try to uninstall the older version because both point to the same installation folder. You can either remove that registry key yourself or use a registry cleaner.

Can I have multiple versions of Firefox? I'm running 3.6, but need 3.0 for a virtual network which requires a plugin not compatible with 3.6.

I don't want to lose 3.6, but have 3.0 available for this one application.
thanks!

Easiest is to install a portable Firefox 3.0.x version. The portable version uses its own profile and that way you do not have to make sure that the 3.0 version doesn't use the Firefox 3.6 profile.
You can do a custom install of the Firefox 3.0.19 version, but then you have to make sure that you do not start the Firefox 3.0 program after installing and first create a new profile for that version and create desktop shortcuts to start each version with its own profile to avoid corrupting files in the profile folder.

[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.

Basically solved but not yet mastered.
So I've figured out how to do this, it works, but not yet optimally and I am unsure about some things. Namely:

It seems as though it is a bit messy, as if I have more than I need installed. Especially the two entries in /opt/lib/. Do I really need all this?

^ 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.

Installing multiple versions of Firefox on same pc

How do I install 4.0 without overwriting my current version 3.6.16? I would like both versions for testing purposes.

During the install process, there is a point where you can do a custom install. Use that dialog to specify the directory you want to install Fx4. You may also want to create a unique profile. Read here [[http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Managing%20profiles]] to do that.

Can I use multiple versions of FireFox on one PC?

- I use 5.0 for most things
- but have need to use FF 3.6 with a web application we are developing that requires me to use 3.6 for testing.

See this support thread: 
http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=2249039

I removed the 64 bit version of Firefox and now my bookmarks for the 32 bit version are gone. How do I get them restored?

Are previous bookmarks for the default stored somewhere on my hard drive?

See [[Uninstall Firefox from your computer]]. It's not specifically mentioned in the article since most people don't have multiple versions of Firefox installed (such as a released version and a [http://nightly.mozilla.org Nightly version]) but using the uninstall option '''Remove my Firefox personal data and customizations''' removes ALL of your Firefox [[Profiles|profile folder]] data and settings (bookmarks, passwords, cookies, etc.) . If you did choose that option when you uninstalled your 64-bit version of Firefox, then I'm afraid the profile data is gone.

Certain site support earlier versions of FireFox 3.6. Is there a compatibility mode within Firefox 7.0

Certain web sites state browser versions for viewing compatibility, and these are older versions of FireFox. The site does state that FF3.5 & 3.6 are supported and I have a VMWare Image with FF3.6 and the pages are displayed correctly.
After installing the latest version, on Linux, I am not able to run the earlier versions. It seems to re-direct to the latest version.
I still have the script that started FF3.6, which looks for the /usr/lib64 directory and it has the directory /usr/lib64/firefox-3.6, yet when I run up the /usr/bin/firefox-old, I get FF7 started ...
I guess this query is two questions:-
1. How to run multiple versions of FF 3.6 & 7 in Linux
2. Certain sites do not support FireFox above 3.6, and is there a 'compatibility mode' to run FF7 as FF3.6 ??
I have opened the page in Firebug, and the body is indeed empty. There are Javascript modules recorded.

Reference site:-
http://odyniec.net/blog/2010/02/running-multiple-versions-of-firefox-in-ubuntu-9-10/
I have modified the original Fedora firefox script from /usr/bin/firefox to be /usr/bin/firefox-old.
Then I modified the script firefox-old to change the LAUNCHER from "/usr/bin/firefox" , which now points to my FF7.0.1 to the $MOZ_PROGRAM which has been setup earlier to the correct binary /usr/lib64/firefox-3.6/firefox 
 
<pre><nowiki>##
## Set MOZ_APP_LAUNCHER for gnome-session
export MOZ_APP_LAUNCHER="$MOZ_PROGRAM -no-remote -P Firefox-3.6"
</nowiki></pre>

Why do you make previous versions of FireFox so hard to find?

I'm a developer and I need to maintain multiple versions of FireFox, specifically 4, 5 and 6, and maybe some of the interim versions as well. I did manage to find version 5, but after I installed it, it upgraded itself to 6.0.2.
I appreciate you working so hard to try to keep everyone updated, it means I have fewer visitors to my sites with an outdated FireFox browser, but I still need to support those who do. Where do I find version 4 and 5, and how do I turn off the attepts to upgrade everytime I open an older version of FireFox?

There is a still unresolved issue that might also be contributing to difficulty of registering.
"How to sign in to the forum using Firefox w/ NoScript"
http://community.vzw.com/t5/Suggestions-for-this-Community/How-to-sign-in-to-the-forum-using-Firefox-w-NoScript/td-p/194718
People who use the Firefox extension called Noscript will need to read that thread and follow the instructions in the first post. Just now, I removed the recommended change to Noscript and discovered that the reported issue appears to still exist -- it's impossible for me to sign in to this forum without that recommended Noscript change in place.

I've noticed that in the new version of Firefox that you cannot save multiple tabs at one time like the previous Firefox 3.6.or so and I wanted to know if I can find that feature again?

I've noticed that in the new version of Firefox that you cannot save multiple tabs at one time like the previous Firefox 3.6.or so and I wanted to know if I can find that feature again?
In the previous versions of Firefox when you went to you Bookmarks menu it gave you the options to either Bookmark This Page 'command' + 'D', Subscribe to this Page, Bookmark All Tabs 'up-arrow-key' + 'command' + 'D', and Organize Bookmarks 'up-arrow-key' + 'command' + 'B' however in the newest version of Firefox there is no Bookmark All Tabs so you can bookmark all the tabs that you have up in one window at a time. So I need to know if it is possible that the feature is now in a different place, is gone altogether, or if you can get that feature another way?
For me personally and my work I go through hundreds of web pages a day and save around half of those so it is imperative that I be able to bookmark more then one tab at a time because I can't be bothered to bookmark every single page separately and then go through hundreds of tabs in my Unsorted bookmarks in order to sort those bookmarks. It is simple inconvenient to sort every bookmark individually that is why the previous version of Firefox with the Bookmark All Tabs button was superior in its convenience.

Right click any tab and choose "Bookmark All Tabs".

I had an older version of Firefox with a toolbar that allowed me to view multiple links at once. Is that toolbar avaiable for the current version of Firefox?

When viewing an email with multiple links, I would click an icon in the toolbar which looked like a vertical multi-colored bar and all the links would open on the same page. I cannot find this (add-on) now that I have downloaded the current version of Firefox. Is there something which works similarly available?
Some of the other icons on this tool bar were red arrows.

Maybe I just don't know how to make it work but It doesn't open all the links in at once in the same tab. I will read more about to see if I can figure this out. It is a challenge to learn new programs. I should have saved the old Firefox program which downloaded along with Firefox as I remember.

Want to be able to open tabs in multiple rows, rather than in a single row. I used tab mix plus before, but it says it is not compatible with New tab Homepage. The older version of Firefox allowed this very easily.

Can I open multiple bookmarks at a time like on the desktop version of Firefox has Open in All Tabs?

The desktop version of Firefox allows me to open multiple bookmarks at a time when they are all in a particular folder. I cant seem to find a place that allows this in Firefox Beta. Does it even exist and if not please tell me you plan on adding it.

You can modify the pref keyword.URL on the about:config page to use Google's "I'm Feeling Lucky" or Google's "Browse By Name".

I found multiple apps., of Firefox, Mozilla Firefox applications. I only need version 16.0. How can I delete all other versions??

My program files on both Drives C and E, show only one version of Firefox, but I saw 3 other applications called FIREFOX, MOZILLA FIREFOX, AND ANOTHER FIREFOX. I wanted Firefox version 16.0, downloaded it, but now see a Version 24.0 that I didn't download, thus, these numerous applications are using massive amounts of disc space. Please advise the best way of getting rid of all the others and keeping only version 16.0.
Thanks, GoldenGirl147

You should only be using Firefox 24, Firefox 16 is insecure and not support anymore.

Since my computer upgraded to the latest version of Firefox, I can't access or access only partial websites - how do I fix?

My computer did it's normal Window update as well as updated to the latest version of FireFox. Since then I can access minimum parts of normal websites and I cannot use multiple tabs to search different websites. I restored my computer to before the Windows 7 update thinking that was the problem but I still have trouble accessing sites and extreme slowness with FireFox. Any ideas?

I found that after Firefox v29, a LOT of my settings and 
add-ons were changed / reset. Try this;
