You might be totally surprised just how fast it is nowadays, quicker than Chrome even, on many scripts. Not only test wise, but the GUI feels much snappier too.
- codemac 14y agoI can never seem to switch between profiles very effectively. I wish there was a way to run firefox in a "trial" mode where it just created a new temporary profile that it got rid of on exit. I'd like to try out firefox nightly from time to time to see if they've fixed a feature yet or if I should go into the bug tracker. However currently I've managed to accidentally trash my profile a couple times. I made a new profile for nightly, but it then seemed to break firefox beta.. blah blah blah.
- thristian 14y agoIt's not very well documented, but at least on Linux you can do this: $ tar xf firefox-nightly-whatever.tar.bz2 $ cd firefox $ mkdir /tmp/temporary-profile $ ./firefox -no-remote -profile /tmp/temporary-profile No "profile manager" dialog, no interaction with existing profiles, it just creates a new profile in the directory you specify and starts up.
- wamatt 14y agoOn OSX: (directory will be autocreated) $ /Applications/FirefoxAurora.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox-bin -no-remote -profile /tmp/temp-profile This is assuming you want to use Firefox Aurora, without interfering with your main profile. (Recommended :p)
