Given the fact that lots of folks are downloading FireFox 3 as of late, I thought this might be a good time to highlight MultiFireFox 2.0. MultiFireFox 2.0 lets you run up to 5 versions of FireFox side by side.
Why would you want to do this? If you’re a web developer you probably want to check your work in FireFox 2 as well as 3. MultiFireFox also lets those of you who don’t want to jump into the new version of FireFox get your feet wet with the new hotness (or should that be the ‘new wetness?’), but keep FF2 close at hand.
MultiFireFox 2 is free, so you can’t beat the price and runs on OS X 10.4 and above.
Hi folks!
There is a very different use for MultiFirefox:
I use MultiFirefox in connection with Vidalia for anonymous surfing and downloading! In connection with LaLL (Launch aLL) you are able to start Vidalia and MultiFirefox together. After launching, you only have to choose from your anonymous or default profiles, depending on whether you want fast or safe surfing. MultiFirefox also allows you (in conjunction with Vidalia) multiple (parallel) downloads as a “free-user” in RapidShare and cohorts. Usually they log your IP and also use cookies and your browsers history to suppress exactly those multiple downloads. MultiFireFox 2.0 lets you run up to 5 versions of FireFox side by side so you can manage up to 10 (!) Parallel downloads at the same time. MultiFirefox is a great solution, especially if you want to download many “.part-files”. Just use MultiFirefox and Vidalia and you’ll never need a paid account!
