Luckily -- despite your being "quite certain" -- that's not true, or at least it didn't used to be true. I have a free program called MultiFirefox <http://davemartorana.com/multifirefox/> installed on my Mac, which lets you switch between more than one version of FF, and/or between multiple profiles for the same version. It's a Mac application, not a FF extension, so it shouldn't be affected by the switch to E10s (I hope). I'm not absolutely sure that it still works, since I haven't used it with a recent version of FF, but it seems to still be under development (updated) so it probably still works. Alternatively, this page <http://benalman.com/news/2010/08/multi-firefox-launcher-for-os/> describes using the Mac's command line, or an AppleScript that the author wrote, to accomplish something similar -- switching between more than one FF installation on the same Mac. (I haven't tried his methods.) (BTW, don't confuse the application MultiFirefox with the FF extension Multifox; that's unrelated and has an entirely different purpose.) For Windows users, if you search for something like "multi firefox for windows" or "install multiple versions of Firefox on Windows" you'll find many web pages with instructions, although I haven't tried any of them. The broader question is how convenient it would be to use a separate browser for development and for ordinary browsing. Currently I'm more interested in learning the Mozilla DevTools, but if a future version of FF kills off more key extensions that I use, I might start developing in an older version, or try one of the extended support releases. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Firebug" group.
