Running Firefox 2 and 3 together on OSX.
Posted by hsin on September 29th, 2008
Create a new Firefox profile using the Profile Manager (i.e. ff2):
/Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox -ProfileManager
Then launch Firefox 2 with the new profile:
/Applications/Firefox2.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox -P ff2 -no-remote
Create an apple script using the Script Editor to have a launch icon:
do shell script “/Applications/Firefox2.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox -P ff2 -no-remote &> /dev/null &”
Save as “Application Bundle” and check “Run only”.
