How to set up, maintain, rename, delete and run profiles with Firefox Portable.
|
||||
|
||||
- For installed Firefox versions, please refer to [2.1 Multiple Profiles](https://github.com/arkenfox/user.js/wiki/2.1-Multiple-Profiles)
|
||||
- For more on running concurrent profiles, see [2.3 Concurrent Profiles](https://github.com/arkenfox/user.js/wiki/2.3-Concurrent-Profiles)
|
||||
|
||||
You can't use the Profile Manager or the controls in `about:profiles` with Firefox Portable.

### :small_orange_diamond: Multiple Firefox Portables
|
||||
|
||||
This method is the easiest, and is in fact the *ONLY* method that allows multiple profiles over multiple Firefox versions. Simply install/unpack as many Firefox Portables as you need (using PortableApps *paf.exe's), and set up shortcuts (rename your shortcuts to whatever you like)
|
||||
- ⚠️ Don't copy profiles, as internal UUIDs can break things
|
||||
- ⚠️ Don't move portable directories, as they are not 100% fully portable: internally some paths are not relative
|
||||
|
||||
* `TIP`: To create a new default vanilla profile
|
||||
* Close Firefox
|
||||
* Go to your `\FirefoxPortable\Data` directory and rename your `profile` to a temp name, such as `profile-real`.
|
||||
* Start Firefox and a new `profile` folder will be created.
|
||||
* Close Firefox, rename `profile` to `profile-vanilla`, and `profile-real` back to `profile`.
|
||||
* Now you have a clean new vanilla profile for use elsewhere if required.
|
||||
|
||||
* `TIP`: Use the `AllowMultipleInstances=true` line in each `FirefoxPortable.ini` to allow concurrent Firefox Portables
|
||||
* `TIP`: If you do not have a `FirefoxPortable.ini` in your root folder, there is a template one in `Other/Source`. Remove the lines you do not need and set the values you require. Generally speaking, all you would want or need are: e.g.:
|
||||
* DisableSplashScreen=true
|
||||
* AllowMultipleInstances=true
