I want to install the U.S. version of FF and the version in traditional Chinese characters and use them both. How can I do this

I want to use the English US version of FF and I also want to use Chinese (traditional characters) version of fire fox. But when I tried to install each of these two versions, they merged and let me only to use the Chinese version. is it possible to have both versions on my computer so I can use each of them in its appropriate context.

Yes, I often use several versions of firefox.

Use custom install for the 2nd or both versions of firefox and create multiple profiles.

Program records

When you install firefox (you can leave the first version where it is) choose custom rather than the default values Setup. You normally use a location in the path of the program window, so that the files are easy to find related and execution. Maybe just add USA and C for default folder names, so that you have separated appropriate folders. You can rename all of the Firefox shortcuts after their creation.

Two profiles

You will need to have separate for each version profiles so that they work properly.

  1. I would like to start by creating a copy of the existing profile folder and all its subfolders. Copy in a safe place, out of program or firefox profile paths, the Windows desktop is an obvious choice. It is not necessary, but if something is wrong it allows possibilities of recovery or regression.
  2. For simplicity, let such existing firefox profile; If it doesn't work still. You can always delete the shortcuts for her later if she is not going to be used. (Do not rename the profiles until you are confident and fully understand firefox profiles and how they are used).
  3. Create a new profile for the American version of firefox. You can use it right away if your US version of firefox work properly, otherwise re - install firefox.
    • Carefully note the name of the profile and the folder name and the path. When you create a profile, it of wise always to use an empty folder, because if you imprudently delete the profile you lose everything, including all the important but unrelated files are contained in it because it was not initially an empty folder.
    • you have no need to uninstall firefox, but if you do, then do NOT use any option to delete personal settings or a Firefox or Windows option.
    • / ! ------Care if you remove the settings it will try to remove all settings, Favorites, passwords etc of normally installed versions of Firefox. (Proper use of file recovery utilities and luck is needed if the attempt to overthrow of the action)
  4. Rename it shortened to something suitable like us Firefox and configured to use the US profile.
  5. follow a similar procedure for Chinese version.
  6. It is possible to run both versions at the same time, open which uses the -no-remote option, but I'm guessing you won't need that.

I'll add explanatory links later today, when I'm on another machine with my favorites available.
