- Shivetya 12y agomy concern with firefox, at least on the mac, I tend to find video play back just stops whereas I can take the same video to Safari and have zero issues. I really wish there were a way to more easily identify if the problem is an addon or inherent to Firefox.

- hackuser 12y agofirefox.exe -p -new-instance Should open a new instance of Firefox in the profile dialog, where you can create a new profile. I'm not sure about "-new-instance". I've only used -no-remote but the release notes say remote commands have been removed. Some quick research turned up -new-instance as a substitute.
- Excavator 12y ago-no-remote is the same as -new-instance except that the instance won't listen to remote commands.
- cpeterso 12y agoYou can quickly test without add-ons by restarting Firefox in Safe Mode from the Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled. You can also restore Firefox to its default settings with Help menu > Troubleshooting Information > Give Nightly a tune up > Refresh Firefox button. It will uninstall your add-ons but retain your bookmarks, browsing history, and saved passwords.
