Does anyone know if this would work with a pre-release copy of Firefox, I keep wanting to test some of the new stuff out but want to be able to shift back to my current install without issue.

I have been running multiple instances for the past couple of years and have one issue for which I have not found a solution; when each instance starts I get a “Firefox has been updated” tab even though I have not updated Firefox. The first time it happened was after updating Firefox and it has not stopped since. I’m still looking for a solution, any ideas welcome.

Now that is really really clever.

I’ve also got a number of browsers installed – IE, FF, Opera, Seamonkey and Chrome – interesting to know I can now run multiple instances of FF as well!!

Hi, John.
Thats nice tricks, actually i just seen new Firefox [3] but due to compatibility problem with most of the WEBMASTER related pluginns , i just switched back to old Firefox 2.14. Is there any was to use BOTH the Firefox(2 and 3) in same PC ?without affecting each other.

Thanks for the tip – it will come in handy as I always have the need for multiple browsers with different cookie settings.

That’s a very nice trick indeed John – thatnks for the heads up.

By the way – speaking about things that kind of defeat the purpose – did you know that your ’spam protection’ – sum of x + y thingo autocalculates the sum and fills in the box? That’s kind of cool for those of us that are mathematically challengedm though
