Customize Firefox to use different Application Support subfolder?

I have an unusual requirement. I want to have two separate copies of Firefox.app that have identifiers different bundle and keep their profiles in different subfolders of ~/Library/Application Support. For example, Firefox.app with bundle ID org.mozilla.firefox to keep their profiles in ~/Library/Application Support/Firefox and FirefoxAlt.app with bundle ID org.mozilla.firefoxalt would keep her in ~/Library/Application Support/FirefoxAlt.

I know the Profile Manager and it does not meet my needs.

I want to have separate instances of Firefox running simultaneously for different profiles. If I run two instances of the same Firefox.app, using Profile Manager to select a different profile for each, then I get weird behavior when I open URLS in other applications. Basically, it is arbitrary which instance of Firefox gets the open URL.

18.x Firefox, I was able to accomplish what I needed. I duplicated Firefox.app to FirefoxAlt.app changed his bundle ID and bundle name, changed his name = FirefoxAlt application.ini and replaced its executable to be a shell script that invoked the firefox-bin with 'firefox' "-$path/application.ini app»

I just tried to move to Firefox 21 and find that it does not work. FirefoxAlt.app just closes immediately after the launch. Is there a way to accomplish what I want with the current versions of Firefox?

Use the - No.-remote command line switch to open another instance of Firefox with its own profile and to run multiple instances of Firefox at the same time, but don't use no - no - remote with the default browser and the default profile.

    You have an "Old data Firefox" folder on the desktop?

    When you refresh/Reset Firefox then created a new profile and some personal data (bookmarks, history, cookies, passwords, data form) are automatically imported.
    The current profile folder will be moved to "Old data Firefox" folder on the desktop.
    Installed extensions and other customizations (toolbars, Pref.) that you have made are lost and must be redone.

    You can use one of them to retrieve an existing profile or create a new default profile for Firefox:

    • Remove the profiles.ini file to make Firefox create a new profile (default)
    • Use the Profile Manager to create a new profile
      If you have an existing profile, then click on "Choose a folder" in the Profile Manager and navigate to the location of a profile lost to recover this profile

  • Use different accounts of DPS for iPad and Android versions of the same application?

    Hello

    When to create a version of a DPS iPad app Android the account used to create the content (the 'title ID' in the DPS application Builder) are the same for both versions, or different? In the content viewer I know that iPad content will appear the same on Android, so I think that the answer is probably no, but I failed to find it mentioned in the Adobe documentation.

    Thank you


    Toby

    It depends, but generally the answer is that you want to use a different account for iOS and Android. Not all features are supported in iOS viewer supported in Android Viewer. For example, if you use panoramas and specific views web iOS in your articles, you'll want to be able to use a different content for viewers of Android. Search for "dps supported features" for a comparative table.

    I use different Application accounts for my applications. I use the feature of sharing/copy to transfer the folios of the account iOS on behalf of Android (or Windows). Then I remove the few items that don't work well in the viewer and replace them with items generated from the different source files. Which works well and does not require much additional effort.

    If you want to reduce the amount of black strips the viewer of Android, you might want to use different accounts and use, for example, 1280 x 800 sheets instead of 1024 x 768.

  • How to assign different applications of 1 package of complete creative cloud between different users?

    Hello

    We are a small startup that contains a bag of full creative cloud.

    Would like to know if there is a way for us to split the individual applications in Creative full Cloud, among others in our team. (We have an account of the team).

    For example, 1 computer with an ID must only access to Premiere Pro, 2 computers with a different ID needs than Photoshop.

    Thank you!

    you say that we can log on to multiple computers at the same time with the same ID on cloud creative to use different applications at the same time? That would certainly solve a ton of problems.

    This isn't how creative cloud for teams. It is licensed per seat.

    You have a creative cloud under a team license (full) membership? If so, that can be used by a seat (or user).

    Most users (even for a cloud app) need more seats. Your best product line may be 1 place to Complete and several unique App places.

    So, if you want to add (and pay extra for) membership application (or full membership) for various people on your team account, which can be done through the console of administration of the team.

    The window customize Firefox and tab guard popping open at seemingly random times. This continues to be no matter how many times I close.

    One possible reason is that if it was added as a second 'Home tab' in which case it will be displayed in each new window (Ctrl + n) and every time that you click the Home button.

    To verify that you can use the page Options, as described in this article: start-up, homepage, tabs and download settings.

    Look for a vertical bar character at the heart of the area that separates the two addresses. A simple example with short URLS:

    The bar certainly can be hard to spot with long URLs, but when you find it, delete everything to the right of the bar, then the bar itself (I suggest to remove the last bar so things don't accidentally get it together).

  • The sound allows you to check the default speakers. However, some applications use some speakers while other applications use different players.

    I produce several channels on mogulus. (see http://theallyvideo.blogspot.com/)

    I use a HP desktop computer smart touch and a few laptops from Sony to run the application studio to mogulus.com.

    Use the mogulus studio, I can watch multiple video streams live as sources and monitor outgoing video as well. There's my video stream live from other computers/producers in 4 different States more video feeds of my two laptops. NOTE: see www.mogulus.com

    I am running Vista on all three machines. (I found that XP cannot handle 4 video stream, I got up to 9 with Vista.

    Audio wise, it has worked on all three computers.

    Mogulus studio, use Adobe to handle all audio and video.
    I can turn on or off the sound of my guests so I can hear them and coordinate that I then put on the air and see how long they need.

    The outgoing video monitor also has an audio mute button. When using the PC's built-in speakers, it's a MUST to mute the audio monitor outgoing when you go live, and then reactivate the sound when he in transmitting the other guests, or playing pre-recorded clips.

    I also have a Microsoft keyboard with maximum volume down and cut the buttons on my desk. Two Sony laptops have the same keys and worked perfectly, controlling the built-in speakers. The keys make it easier to mute the speakers to use the key mute in the studio during the 'live '.

    I had another option for speakers of inhibition to avoid the Larsen effect. It is to plug headphones into the headphone jack on the monitor.
    I could connect the headset, do some direct ads, spots a show pre recorded, disconnect the headset and wander in the 'studio' listening to the show through PC speakers.

    So far has worked flawlessly, with two small problems.

    • (1) I sometimes forgot to mute the speakers when I spotted my local webcam and microphone. This would cause comments as soon as I saw the video and it came out alive. The microphone pick up the sound from the computer speakers.
    • (2) the microphone integrated into the HP desktop computer doesn't have a good sound. The mic's Sony are OK, but too far from my mouth to provide good storytelling.

    I decided that the Microsoft LX3000 USB integrated boom Mic headset would be the perfect complement to solve these two problems. I bought three of them, so I would have them on computers cell phones too.

    I installed the LX-3000 CD according to the instructions. Then I plugged in the USB cable to connect the headset/microphone.

    The sound of the headphones was superb. The boom Mic on the headset is a huge improvement over those built in monitors or webcams.

    Mute the Mic and speaker volume up/down on the cord of the LX-3000 is a convenience too.

    Use the headset no sound PC speakers. So, the echo is therefore more a problem.

    Use of the helmet, it is not necessary to mute the speakers. They are now closed all the time now. So, I go live, make an announcement, then play a prerecorded segment.

    That's where everything went south.

    I take off the headphones so I can take a coffee. I realize that now, I have no way of controlling the segment recorded through the speakers. I have no way of knowing when the segment is about to finish and I need to rush to the computer to make the next segment or live announcement. Being attached to the PC by a foot 3 cord isn't good at all.

    I try to do what I did with the analog headphone. Unplug the headphones to re - turn the speakers.
    No luck there. The speakers are still silent.

    I plug the USB headphones in. NOW I have no sound through speakers or headphones. The microphone in the headphones works well. like the mute of the microphone on the cord of the headset. Reduction in the volume of the buttons on the headset cable move the sliders up and down in the windows sound mixer, but no sound anywhere.

    I re - start.
    Now I get sound from the earpiece. But, not the speakers. All the volume keys on the keyboard, monitor and headset cable + / up and down the volume sliders but have no effect on the speakers or headphones. The helmet is at full volume all the time and PC speakers are silent.

    I look in the Control Panel, "speakers". I see that the 'helmet' has a green check mark and don't "speak". I select speakers and press the button "default". The speakers now have a green check mark.
    No change...
    I reboot...
    Now, the speakers work, but the headphones does not work. Volume controls move the sliders, but do not effect the speaker volume. None of the buttons mute function.

    This is totally unacceptable. The only way to switch between speakers and headphones is through the re-booting the PC and Control Panel. Cannot do when playing a mixture of 15 the second live commercials ads and 30 seconds.

    This is where it gets weird.

    While in Internet Explore on the page of mogulus studio, or Flash media encoder, the outgoing audio monitor goes to the HEADSET. If I start another copy of Microsoft Internet explore and reveal my mogulus channel drive, the sound of it goes to the PC SPEAKERS.

    Looking at the volume mixer, I see that if I select the "peripheral" "as speakers SoundMax integrated Digital HD Audio", there is only one application, the 'Sound' volume control and control the sound of the IE. players page.
    If I select "Device", "Microsoft LifeChat LX-3000" I get two Windows sounds and Mogulus Studio applications"

    I get the same results on two laptops from sony.

    NOW FOR THE QUESTIONS.
    OK, so how can I tell Blender what applications go to what audio output?

    Can I set up so that as the studio flash applications will both headphones AND PC speakers.

    Can I make the speaker MUTE button on the keyboard and screen work as they did and set mute the speakers for PC only. That would leave the headphone speakers all the time.

    Except that how can I at least get the +/-and mute keys to work as they did.

    Thank you
    Bob

    Bob, you can proceed as follows which allows different devices to be chosen for different applications in Windows:

    Close all programs, are preparing to open the first program which will use headphones...
    -Right click on the Volume icon and select playback devices
    -Select the headset as default device and open the program that you want to use this device, it will play on the current default device (helmet)
    -Now right click on the Volume icon and select playback devices, set speaker to the default device
    -Open the program you wish to play on the speakers

    The original program will continue to play on the headphones and the second program will continue to play on the speakers.

    Because of the helmet to helmet USB when you unplug them this device is disconnected (uninstalled) completely, she's not as expected with analog headset.

    Where you disconnected the analog headphone the BIOS of the machine would automatically re - routing the sound to the speakers, I do not think, however, that a secondary feature differentiating the speakers in the headphones would be available in the playback devices in this instance.  This is due to the sound card as the primary and the only device in this case and the speakers/headphones being secondary speakers or all outputs simply.

    You will be able to mute/unmute/volume adjustment for all devices in the Volume mixer (the switch A B device with the menu of the device), but I'm not aware of a way to run a stream audio reading by another device using the commands of its standard Windows at this time.

  • Navigation bar is empty. Customize Firefox page is empty. Any ideas?

    I love Firefox - used it for years.

    Since yesterday, my navigation bar is empty - that is to say, there is no evidence that even if it is enabled.

    And when I go to 'Customize firefox' to restore the default settings, it is just a blank page.

    I uninstalled Firefox and did a new install and that didn't fix it.

    I drove back to v38 and it has not fixed either.

    8.1 win with all the updates in place, 64-bit, Firefox v39.0.

    Any ideas that I prefer Firefox to Chrome, but it is currently unusable?

    (Editor's Note sure if my image upload work - looks like in the web page is having issues because it is a very small file.)

    Try Firefox refresh

    If this help then try to reinstall, but this time clean reinstall that is to delete the details of files (NOT the profile with settings) of the Firefox program as follows:
    (Please back too tell how and what you've tried)

    Some Firefox problems can be solved by performing a clean reinstall. This means that you delete your Firefox program files, and then reinstall Firefox. This process does not delete your Firefox profile (such as bookmarks and passwords) data, since this information is stored in a different location.

    To do a clean reinstall of Firefox, follow these steps: Note: you can print these steps or consult them in another browser.

    1. Download the latest version of Firefox from mozilla.org office (or choose the download for your operating system and language on this page) and save the file to install it on your computer.
    2. Once the download is complete, close all Firefox Windows (or open the Firefox menu

      Click the close button

      ).

    3. Remove the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
      • Windows:

        • C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
        • C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox
      • Mac: Delete Firefox in the Applications folder.
      • Linux: If you have installed Firefox with the distribution-based package manager, you must use the same way to uninstall: see Install Firefox on Linux. If you have downloaded and installed the binary package from the Firefox download page, simply remove the folder firefox in your home directory.
    4. Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
      1. Double-click on the downloaded Setup file and go through the steps in the installation wizard.
      2. Once the wizard is completed, click to open Firefox directly after clicking the Finish button.

    More information on the resettlement of Firefox can be found here.

    WARNING: Do not use a program to uninstall third party as part of that process. This could permanently delete your Firefox profile data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and passwords saved. They can be retrieved easily unless they have been backed up on an external device! See back up and restore the information contained in the profiles of Firefox.

  • BakerlessPillowwork in the Application Support folder

    I went looking for suspicious files after clicking a download link shaded and found this in my root (?) Record of Support request. Mention this because otherwise I would have thought it was a new file placed by an update, but I have not updated my OSX in awhile

    Thank you in advance, I made an account just for this post

    Do not use any type of product, "anti-virus" or "anti-malware" on a Mac. It is never necessary for her, and relying on it for protection makes you more vulnerable to attacks, not less.

    You may have installed one or more variants of the Trojan 'InstallMac '. Please take the following steps to disable.

    The criminal behind this attack tries to make the malware difficult to remove by varying names of the files it installs. This procedure works now, I know. It will not work in the future. Anyone finding this comment a couple of days or more after it was published should look for a more recent discussion, or start a new one.

    Back up all data before proceeding.

    1 triple - click on the line below on this page to select, then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination:

    ~/Library/LaunchAgents

    In the Finder, select

    Go ▹ go to the folder...

    from the menu bar and paste it into the box that opens by pressing command + V. You won't see what you pasted a newline being included. Press return. A folder named "LaunchAgents" opens.

    Press command-2 key combination to select the display of the list, if it is not already selected.

    There should be a column in the update Finder window. Click on this title to sort the content by date. This will make the related files easy to identify regardless of their names, because they will have the same modification date.

    2A inside of the folder that you just opened, there may be files with the name of all these forms:

    something. AppRemoval.plist

    Something.download.plist

    Something.ltvbit.plist

    Something.notification.plist

    Something.Update.plist

    Here, something is usually an empty string of sense, for example one of the following:

    Epolife

    InstallMac

    Javeview

    Kuklorest

    Manroling

    Otwexplain

    Here are examples, not a comprehensive list. The chain could be anything, and there might be more value of something. Looking for a group of files with the same date of change who match the description.

    Lately, the striker of "InstallMac" a were quick strings 'AppRemoval', 'download', 'ltvbit' and 'update' in the names of its records. For example, you might see file names such as these, instead of the above:

    something. AppVemoral.plist

    Something.dolnwoad.plist

    Something.btvlit.plist

    Something.uadpte.plist

    You may have more than one copy of the malware, with different values of something.

    Place all of these in the trash. If there are other files whose name begins with something, those in the trash also move. You can get a caveat that some files are locked; Delete them anyway.

    Once you've done that, we may not have anything left in the LaunchAgents folder; in this case, you can remove the folder, but otherwise does not delete it. Other files in the folder are not necessarily malicious (though they may be, if you have also installed another type of malware).

    Log off or restart the computer. The Trojan horse should now be inactive.

    3. This step is optional. Open the folder as in step 1:

    ~/Library/Application Support

    and move it to the trash of the subfolders with the name, something you found in step 2.

    Do not move the Application Support folder or anything else inside.

    4. open the Applications folder. If there is an element named something, or "Hell Zip", or with any of the other names listed in step 2, then drag it to the trash.

    If in doubt, press option-command-4 key combination to get the apps by date added. Look at the apps that have been added since you first noticed the problem. If there is one, that you don't recognize, drag it to the trash.

    You can get an alert that the item is locked. Confirm that you want to move to the trash.

    Empty the trash.

    If you receive an alert that the application is running, force it to quit.

    5. from the Safari menu bar, select

    ▹ Safari preferences... ▹ Extensions

    Uninstall all extensions, you don't know that you need. When in doubt, remove all of them. None is required for normal operation. Do the equivalent with Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use one of the people.

    If the window does not open, restart the computer in safe mode. Some caches maintained by the system will be rebuilt.

    6. replace the search engine and home page in each of your browsers, if either has been changed. In Safari, first load the desired home page, then select
