You can find details about <a class="external" href="http://support.mozilla.org/kb/Profiles" title="http://support.mozilla.org/kb/Profiles">Profiles on Mozilla's end-user support site</a>.</p> -<h2 id="Reasons_to_have_multiple_profiles">Reasons to have multiple profiles</h2> -<p>The casual user may want to have different profiles for different family members. Having different profiles would allow each person to have his or her own set of bookmarks, settings, and add-ons.</p> -<p>Web developers might want a secondary profile for testing websites, apps, or other projects on different Firefox channels. For example, you might want to have the Firebug add-on installed for Web development, but not for general-purpose Web browsing. While using the Nightly channel, you may encounter some add-ons that have become temporarily incompatible with new API changes, until the add-on developer has a chance to update them. You can remove such add-ons from your profile for Nightly use, while keeping them for use with other profiles.</p> -<p>For QA, testing, and bug triaging contributors, you may want to have multiple development versions of Firefox installed, each with its own profile. Creating new profiles for testing can keep you from losing your preferences, bookmarks, and history. It takes some time to set up a new profile, but once it is complete, all of your Firefox versions will update separately and can be run simultanesouly.</p> -<h2 id="Available_browser_development_channels">Available browser development channels</h2> -<p>There are four available browser channels, each at a different level of stability and development. The four channels are <a class="link-https" href="https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/" title="Firefox Stable">Release</a>, <a class="link-https" href="https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/beta/" title="Firefox Beta">Beta</a>, <a class="link-https" href="https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/aurora/" title="Firefox Aurora">Aurora</a>, and <a class="external" href="http://nightly.mozilla.org/" title="Firefox Nightly">Nightly</a>. The Release channel is recommended for most users, as it is the "official release" channel. However, for those more adventurous, you can try one of the other three channels to see what is coming in Firefox and play around with emerging features. The Beta channel contains the features that are expected to be in the next release of Firefox and are in final stages of testing. Aurora contains experimental features, which are not yet at beta quality. Nightly contains the latest code from Firefox developers and is the least stable channel.</p> -<h2 id="Profile_management">Profile management</h2> -<p>{{ Note("On all operating systems, before you can start the Profile Manager, Firefox must be completely closed.") }}</p> -<p><strong>These instructions are tentatively going away in favor of a new profile manager.

To do this:</p> -<ol> - <li>Right click the icon and choose "Properties".</li> - <li>When the properties dialog box pops up, you should see a "Target" text field that you can edit, and it should show the current file path.</li> - <li>After the closing quote, add "-ProfileManager"</li> - <li>Click Ok.</li> -</ol> -<p>Now whenever you double click that icon, the profile manager should appear, allowing you to choose which profile you'd like to use.</p> -<p>If you want individual icons to launch specific profiles, you will need to edit the "Target" of each icon. To do this:</p> -<ol> - <li>Right click the icon and choose "Properties".</li> - <li>When the properties dialog box pops up, you should see a "Target" text field that you can edit, and it should show the current file path.</li> - <li>To permanently set a specific profile, add "-p PROFILE_NAME" to the target path, but outside of the quotes, replacing "PROFILE_NAME" with the actual profile name you chose.</li> - <li>If you would like to also allow multiple instances of Firefox to run at the same time, add "-no-remote" after the profile name.</li> -</ol> -<p>Once you are all done, click Ok. Do this for each icon you'd like to have a specific profile for. Once done, each one should automatically start with the specified profile.</p> -<h3 id="Linux">Linux</h3> -<p>There is no extremely straightforward way to create custom application launchers in Gnome 3 like there was in Gnome 2. The following tutorial will help get you going overall: <a class="external" href="http://blog.randell.ph/2011/08/01/how-to-create-custom-application-launchers-in-gnome-3/" title="How to create custom application launchers in gnome 3">Gnome 3 Custom application launcher</a>. Once you get to the point of adding a new item, you can have the profile dialog show up every time or set the launcher to launch a specific profile.</p> -<p>If you want to have the profile manager to pop up each time you start Firefox, so you can choose a profile, you will need to set the command line for your new launcher.</p> -<ol> - <li>Set the "command" text field to target the executable file, likely "/usr/bin/firefox", and add the "-p" parameter.</li> -</ol> -<p>If you want individual icons to launch specific profiles, you will need to set the command line for your new launcher. To do this:</p> -<ol> - <li>Set the "command" text field to target the executable file, likely "/usr/bin/firefox", and add the "-p PROFILE_NAME" parameter, replacing "PROFILE_NAME" with the specific profile.</li> - <li>Repeat as necessary for each profile you want to set.</li> - <li>If you would like to also allow multiple instances of Firefox to run at the same time, add "-no-remote" after the profile name.</li> -</ol> -<h3 id="Mac_OSX">Mac OSX</h3> -<p>You can find a useful tutorial to set up custom launchers here: <a href="http://spf13.com/post/managing-multiple-firefox-profiles-in-os-x/" title="Managing Multiple Firefox Profiles in OSX">Managing Multiple Firefox Profiles in OSX</a>. Do note it's best to follow all steps in the "Creating the scripts" section, including the "edit Info.plist" step. Leave off the profile name if you want the profile selector to show up every time you launch.</p> -<h2 id="Setting_up_multiple_profiles_for_different_Firefox_Channels">Setting up multiple profiles for different Firefox Channels</h2> -<p>This section will be especially helpful if you are a developer wanting to work with multiple channels and each having their own separate launcher.</p> -<h3 id="Windows_2">Windows</h3> -<p>In Windows, the Aurora and Nightly builds get their own directory in the "Programs" folder, so you don't have to worry about where to store the downloaded files. However, all three will attempt to use the same profile by default, and you'll want to not keep this because the different channels have different levels of features. To set each launcher, follow the Windows instructions at <a href="#Windows">Windows Launcher</a></p> -<h3 id="Linux_2">Linux</h3> -<p>In Linux, things aren't as automatically set up, and you will likely get a prompt to download a tar.bz2 file to extract from. Extract the files to a new directory and use the new launcher instructions from <a href="#Linux">here</a>. The only change you will need to make is the command path. You will want to set it to the directory you extracted the Firefox channel's tar.bz2 file into, and the executable "firefox" file located within. The remaining profile assignment methods will remain the same. You will want to, for sure, add the "-no-remote" part to the end of the command field, so that you could run multiple instances at the same time.</p> -<h3 id="Mac_OSX_2">Mac OSX</h3> -<p>You can find a useful tutorial to set up custom launchers here: <a href="http://spf13.com/post/managing-multiple-firefox-profiles-in-os-x/" title="Managing Multiple Firefox Profiles in OSX">Managing Multiple Firefox Profiles in OSX</a>. Do note it's best to follow all steps in the "Creating the scripts" section, including the "edit Info.plist" step. Also you'll want to change the path in the do shell script to point to the correct .app file for the Firefox channel you want to target.</p> |
