Have 2 installations of firefox at same time












1















How can I have 2 different versions of firefox exist and not interfere with one another?



The two version I want are:




  • Latest, for normal use (sync with mobile, etc)

  • v19, for compatibility with older software (doesn't work on newer versions, due to old ssl protocol errors) and will not be syncing or updating ever.


How can I have these coexist without much hassle?

          • Where can I find portable versions for Mac? Somewhere between v15-v19. All I can find are for windows.

          • Well, when I Google for portable firefox mac, the first search result is Version 4.0.1r4.1, so I am not sure about version numbers. I guess that you just have to search
