=== How to install and run different Firefox versions === | |||
You may want to have different versions of Firefox on the same computer, in order to be able to reproduce bugs on the different versions, or on the different nightlies. | |||
First of all, you'll have to download the version you want: here's the [https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-mozilla-central/ latest Nightly], [https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-mozilla-aurora/ latest Aurora], latest Beta. For other versions of Nightly, check out [https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/ this page]. | |||
(TBD: add an explanation for the structure of the page, and find a stable url for the latest beta or add how to find the latest beta) | |||
The file you want to download is the .tar.bz2 for your OS (Linux) and architecture (i686 for 32bit and x86_64 for 64bit). | |||
When the download is finished, create a new directory in your home: mkdir <newdirname> | |||
Now you can unpack the tarball in the new directory: cd <newdirname>; tar xvf <path-to-tarball> | |||
And finally launch Firefox: ./firefox/firefox -no-remote -P | |||
