Firefox profiles are not very useful - all instances open with even a

I'm using Linux: LMDE cinnamon Edition - 64-bit
I use the version of firefox Mozilla Firefox 31.0

I wish to have two instances of FF running. One with my standard, personal settings and a second instance that ONLY connects to Facebook and stop data leakage between the two. I can do this by opening up Facebook in another browser (for example, Chrome, or Opera).
I checked the ProfileManager under Firefox and created a second profile called "FB".
I can run firefox Pei FB and she opens an instance of FF with none of my personal settings available - that's what I was hoping.
However, if I run a second instance of FF - for example the command-line firefox-p default it loads with the same profile as the first instance I opened, not the new profile such as specified in the command.

I can't that choose the profile if there is no instance of previous firefox running under my user name. The first instance defines which profile is used for all subsequent executions - no matter what profile I specify on the command line. Even running firefox - ProfileManager start with Prime-specifie profile, Profile Manager.

Hello

If you want to run multiple instances of Firefox, you will need to add a - no - remote parameter to the command.

For example:

  • Firefox - P-no-remote

    It is chromatic aberration, it's a type of distortion that exists in all optical components to a certain extent, but varies depending on the lens.  In general, the less expensive lenses will be more CA, especially something like the kit lenses.  You'll notice more in high contrast situations, like a brilliant white on a black background.  You can fix it to a certain extent in post with programs like Lightroom or Photoshop.

  • Most of the sites are not loading on all browsers

    Hello

    2 weeks ago my MacBook Pro was working fine and I used it on the internet using an Ethernet cable for the 1st time. Then I had to travel and come back 2 days without it. When I tried to use it via my WiFi router, I realized that most of the sites are not loading on safari, chrome, firefox, etc. Only Youtube, Facebook, Twitter, Apple.com, Google and Yahoo are working. When I try other websites I get messages such as;

    Unable to connect

    Firefox can't establish a connection to the server www.google.com.

    The site may be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.

    If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection.

    If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.


    and


    Safari cannot connect to the server.

    Other applications using internet work very well. My router is also OK. When I use the laptop mode safe mode everything works fine and I can access the sites but I need my machine in its maximum capacity.

    Please help me, I would greatly appreciate it

    Thank you

    This is probably a problem with Server DNS (Domain Name). If you enter anything in the DNS domains for your Wi - Fi configuration, it rolls too the parameters provided by your router.

    The best way to dig you out of ANY configuration problem, is to set up again from scratch, using:

    System Preferences > network > Wi - Fi > (help me) > (Assistant)...

    Be sure to specify a set of 'Place' new, mnemonic name, NOT the default. After answering questions, don't forget to click (apply) and close the window to have the changes take effect. Now, this set of parameters can be applied "all at once" when you're back at this place.

    When, in another location, create a new package from 'Rental' from scratch, so as not to crush those who work somewhere else.

  • Firefox changes are not saved and need to change again every time that firefox is restarted.

    As I installed firefox on my new PC, nothing seems more register. Whenever I start it up, he wants to give me a ride as the first time I installed it. Background on the same pages size changes every time that I open them. Does not record the change on the home page, that is after I have change the options he will remember it not next time I start the program.
    In addition, even if his watch that I signed it for synchronization, it in fact does not synchronize anything from my old PC.

  • Why my firefox settings are not preserved when I update?

    Was just invited to update my Firefox to 23.0 and, as usual, asked if I wanted to "import" whatever it is INTERNET Explorer. I said NO - I don't want these settings in Firefox.

    I expect, however, that the update would bring on my customizations of my previous version of Firefox - but it didn't! No preserved Favorites, my window settings (I HATE TABS!) were gone, my wiped out - privacy settings I have to rebuild my environment to pass one version of FF to another?

    Why do you ask me about IE, but not Firefox? And--now--all of these customizations are lost?

    Yes, it looks like your Firefox profile folder.

    You have a profiles.ini file in C:\Users\me\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\

    If this file is there then you can list its contents?

    Note that Windows can hide the .ini file extension, so you can see only one file of profiles also the profiles folder that stores the profile folder.

  • Platform of Firefox profiles are independent?

    I would like to transfer my profile data from Windows 7 to 7 Debian. for some reason any the right Sync feature does not work for me.

    So my question is, are cross platform compatible Firefox profiles?

    for example. can I just copy my windows profile...
    "< Profile folder > %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\.
    my profile on linux?...
    "< profile folder > ~/.mozilla/firefox/.

    Not 100% compatible. Some preferences in the file prefs.js (essentially paths from what I've observed files) and some files added by modules may not be fully compatible.

    My advice is to copy the files in the profile folder, one at a time, using as a guide for the files to copy.

  • Some tags are not recognized at all (mp3/ogg, always full albums)

    Hello!

    I encountered a strange problem. My rocket recognizes not all my files tags. — about 1/3 of my songs appear as 'unknown' as 'unknown '. My question is, someone bumped into what whether similar? I tried searching this forum but can't find anything similar.

    It's a little weird, like:

    • They are always full albums that are not recognized (i.e. newer than a part of an album).
    • I have not found a common application for the albums, tags are not recognized;
    • Some of them are MP3 (id3v2.4 I presume), some are OGG,.
    • some (most) is torn apart by myself CD, some are not.
    • I have them checked (of course) on the computer and all my software recognizes the tags.

    For example, 4 8 Weather Report albums are "unknown" - and one of them is OGG, MP3 3 and 4 which ARE recognized, 3 are OGG and 1 is MP3. I have my albums organized in the manner of MUSIC/artist/Album folders / *. [mp3/ogg] on the "rocket".

    All have been (re) marked with easytag, in fact, that I have recently relabelled/checked the tags of my entire collection with easytag (to ensure that it is usable on the "rocket"). There must be something wrong with my tags. I tried to format the device (in the menu), reset the database by deleting the device, but it does not... help on the updating of the database that is the same files that do not have recognized, however.

    Any suggestions or ideas?

    Thanks for your help!

    Hi again!

    And, thanks to the advice of sansafix, this problem is now solved!

    It seems that id3v2.4 was the culprit - my files under 2.3 relabeling them does the job. In addition, my OGG files were (and still are) the ID3 tag, unlike what I thought. But now they are 2.3 work also.

    Don't know why some of the tags did work, however, even though they were all 2.4 - but their relabelling as 2.3 made it all work in any case. Also, in easytag, I can't seem to be able to prevent OGG files of the ID3 tag, I can only it stop him marking with ID3 alltogether (which is not nice, because I have MP3 and OGG). There is an option to avoid tagging FLAC with ID, however. Maybe I should post a feature request for the guys of easytag, this should be easy to implement...

    I have my tags to format UTF-16 also and did not encounter any problems (yet - my rocket is still so new I don't have time to see all the songs with characters & foreign languages).

    But, in any case, thanks again! Very useful forum, it is indeed.

  • Firefox browser does not work because of "cannot open XPCOM. Someone help? Must keep ALL my favorites!

    I can uninstall and reinstall, etc, but I have to keep all my Firefox bookmarks and all files first. I can't lose hundreds of bookmarks! I have not how or where they are, Firefox won't work.

    The error message on XPCOM usually occurs due to a Firefox update failure that left you with a mixture of old and update files in the Firefox program folder. This can occur where a security software held a handful of some files in the program folder prevents Firefox Firefox to replace all files. You can do a clean reinstall to ensure that all files are replaced.

    Do a clean reinstall of the current version of Firefox and remove the Firefox program folder before installing a new copy of the current version of Firefox.

    If possible to uninstall your current version of Firefox to clean the Windows registry and settings in the security software.

    • Do NOT remove the "personal data" when you uninstall your current version of Firefox, because this will remove all profile folders and you lose personal data such as bookmarks and passwords including data profiles created by other versions of Firefox.

    Delete the program folder Firefox before installing newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.

    • (32-bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
    • (Windows 64 bit) "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla.

    Your personal data such as bookmarks are stored in the Firefox profile folder, so you will not lose data when you uninstall and reinstall or update Firefox, but be careful NOT to delete personal data when you uninstall Firefox which removes all Firefox profile folders and you lose your data.

    If you keep problems, and then create a new profile to test whether your profile is at the origin of the problem.

    (edit: got a confirmation by PM that this answer solved the problem, so I mark it as the solution)
