[SOLVED] Dual Install of Firefox

Hi

I was trying to use:
https://greggigon.github.io/my-personal-kanban/

The other web browsers gave some issues; so I have to run o Firefox. But I usually have opened too many tabs and using kanban becomes difficult.

So is there a possibility to have another copy of firefox, without Chrooting?

Thankyou

Just open a second firefox window? I don't see why you'd have to install a complete distinct version for that?

What V1del said or you could use Firefox for Kanban and then use something like Chromium for general browsing?
Or you could start X in a separate tty?

Re: [SOLVED] Dual Install of Firefox

you can run another firefox instance with different profile, to do this run

firefox -ProfileManager -no-remote

Create new profile and choose it to run with.

Edit: forgot an main option for that: "-no-remote"

Hi
I can open another window, but  I want to dedicate to one tab.
2. I want the same latest version; not another.

@Kartious: I preferably usually use firefox. I was having issue to run on midori and few others though.

@sincomil: It seems to be exactly what I need. But I need to learn how to use it as separate profiles!

Thankyou

Hi

@sincomil: Thanks a lot.

After creating a new profile by the above step; simply running:

firefox -P Kanban

Solved, and more easily.

Thankyou
