The move by Mozilla from Fx-3.5.x/3.6.x to Fx-4.0 (and higher) introduced major profile incompatibilities in a way that whenever a Fx-3.x.x profile was (even once) touched by Fx-4.0+, it became corrupted beyond repair and could no more be used by Fx-3.x.x ... Launching the browser(s) via the dedicated shortcut(s) (pointing to the right profile) worked as expected, but... when I clicked a link inside a document (Word, PDF, etc.) or e-mail, often times catastrophe would strike ... Depending on which Fx version was configured as the system default browser (associated with these links), Fx-4.0 would open the link in the Fx-3.x.x profile (thus corrupting it), because the plain document/e-mail links don't contain the "-no-remote -p" options... So, I had to always keep a back-up of the Fx-3.x.x profile in case s**t happened (pardon the language ) ... Fortunately, in a later stage, I migrated to using the two different Firefox versions inside their dedicated "PortableApps.com" format (PAF) installations and had made IE9 the system browser - no "accidents" happened since, that is until Fx-3.x.x was ditched altogether and the "newer" Firefox was adopted permanently ...

(Happy New Year to the frequenters of these threads ) I use different profiles for all my browsers. No sharing of profiles anymore for years. In the past, I made bad experiences with shared profiles which became suddenly corrupted. And I always keep backups of important profiles to be on the safe side. Happy New Year, too 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What i would like is for both browsers to not interfere with each other, to behave like really separate browsers. The issue until now was that they share the profile index file profiles.ini - whichever profile is set as default in there loads regardless if you started NM27 or NM28. I mostly use NM27, and start NM28 only to test something, if i have an issue with some site, or if i want to quickly check a page and close the browser (here both NM27 and Serpent52 have over 150 tabs and start pretty slowly). The way i start NM28 is by using the -P parameter, which brings up the profile manager. This also means that i have to do the same the next time i start NM27. If the wrong browser gets launched accidentally, it will (most likely) mess up the current default profile. Last builds fixed this by making each browser have its own profiles.ini file. Now @roytam1 says this will be reverted in the next builds (if i didn't misunderstand something). Ugh... As i said previously, one way to have your cake and eat it would be to allow a copy of profiles.ini in the same folder as palemoon.exe to take priority over the file buried in "C:\Documents and Settings\". Hopefully, Roy gets the time (and desire) to implement this. The only issue is if Palemoon is in "C:\Program Files\", on newer Windows you would need to start it as admin to let it modify that file. But, since this is optional (and not needed for a single NM2x browser), you can just let the browser use the regular file in "C:\Users\". The small quote of my post is divorced from its context! You don't have to use the same profile for NM27 and NM28, you only have the choice if you want to or not - and this is what counts because some like you don't and some like me want to. It doesn't matter if both share the same profiles.ini, you can have one profile for NM27 and one for NM28, f.e.: [General] StartWithLastProfile=1 [Profile0] Name=NM27 IsRelative=1 Path=Profiles/12345678.NM27 [Profile1] Name=NM28 IsRelative=1 Path=Profiles/abcdefgh.NM28 Now just create two shortcuts with the right targets and put them to your desktop / start menu / quick launch bar, f.e.: NM27's shortcut target: X:\..\NewMoon27\palemoon.exe -no-remote -p NM27 NM28's shortcut target: X:\..\NewMoon28\palemoon.exe -no-remote -p NM28 Note the two profiles named NM27 and NM28 - there is practically no chance to open the wrong profile by accident and you don't need the profile manager to start the right profile! Nothing offensive, I just want to help you to get these things sorted. I came into this profile stuff because I'm also hoarding a lot of tabs (hundreds in each profile) and sometimes need a fresh profile, especially when someone is complaining that the browser is sooooo slow. 12 hours ago, VistaLover said: 10 years ago or more, I used to have both Firefox 3.5.x and 4 installed, in their own "Program Files" directories of course , each assigned its own separate profile via the method you detailed above ... The move by Mozilla from Fx-3.5.x/3.6.x to Fx-4.0 (and higher) introduced major profile incompatibilities in a way that whenever a Fx-3.x.x profile was (even once) touched by Fx-4.0+, it became corrupted beyond repair and could no more be used by Fx-3.x.x ... Launching the browser(s) via the dedicated shortcut(s) (pointing to the right profile) worked as expected, but... when I clicked a link inside a document (Word, PDF, etc.) or e-mail, often times catastrophe would strike ... Depending on which Fx version was configured as the system default browser (associated with these links), Fx-4.0 would open the link in the Fx-3.x.x profile (thus corrupting it), because the plain document/e-mail links don't contain the "-no-remote -p" options... So, I had to always keep a back-up of the Fx-3.x.x profile in case s**t happened (pardon the language ) ... Fortunately, in a later stage, I migrated to using the two different Firefox versions inside their dedicated "PortableApps.com" format (PAF) installations and had made IE9 the system browser - no "accidents" happened since, that is until Fx-3.x.x was ditched altogether and the "newer" Firefox was adopted permanently ... (Happy New Year to the frequenters of these threads ) I wouldn't recommend the method, if I would have had any of the problems you described. There were no corrupted profiles and open links from documents always worked like intended - open default browser with the right profile. BTW it's always a good idea to have a back-up! kind regards soggi Edited December 31, 2022 by soggi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I said an advance warning would have been nice. But since it wasn't an intentional change....

On 12/29/2022 at 11:19 AM, RainyShadow said: So, after just splitting my NM27 and NM28 profiles apart, i wll have to join them together again in a single profiles.ini for the next build? Honestly, i prefer the current (separate profiles) way. Could you at least add a check for profiles.ini in the executable folder, so it gets used instead (if found)? I agree; although unintended, this change opened up a can of worms! On 12/30/2022 at 2:06 AM, soggi said: I don't see a way to circumvent different profile folders and still use the same profile in NM27 and NM28. I see what you're saying: you want to use the same profile for both, so you needed it changed back. Which @roytam1 has now done, so you're OK. For @RainyShadow and me, who want separate profiles, your shortcut method will work, but it's rather brittle; e.g., if I have shortcuts both in my Start menu and on my desktop, I have to change them all. (Or, I suppose they could be one-line .bat files instead of shortcuts, with the shortcuts pointing to the .bat files.) For the "default browser" issue @VistaLover mentioned, I suppose you could give the default browser the default profile, and use shortcuts (possibly along with a .bat file) to force the other browser to use its own profile - as long as you remember to redo everything if you change default browsers - and let's not even bring up what happens if you use the Open With browser extension! That's why @RainyShadow suggested checking another location for profiles.ini. You wouldn't have to use it, so things would still be back to normal for you, but we'd have a way to have separate default profiles even though they're back in the same folder now. The only thing is, I don't know how hard that would be to code. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On 12/24/2022 at 6:31 PM, Mathwiz said: That's completely unacceptable for anything beyond the most casual correspondence, so paying up is really mandatory. That said, [OE Classic] does work, and appears to be the only option for using 365 with Windows XP. For Windows 7 and up, I'd probably stick with Mozilla Thunderbird, which is both free and full-featured. A few quick postscripts to this saga: First, Serpent 55 (thus presumably all UXP browsers as well: Serpent 52, NM 28, IceApe, etc.) work with Office 365's Webmail page, so that may be the easiest option for XP users. It's certainly the cheapest! Second, paying the OE Classic authors $37 wasn't the end of the story, at least for me. They did send me my license code, but when I tried to activate OE Classic, it tried to connect to the Internet, and failed. I don't know which site it's trying to connect to, but it's evidently blocked by ForcePoint (our company's Internet censorware). I have a proxy server set up to bypass ForcePoint, but naturally, OE Classic doesn't seem to honor the system proxy settings! So I couldn't activate OE Classic and get rid of that damn ad in outgoing emails. I emailed the author but have yet to receive a reply. If they don't come up with a solution, I'll have to ask for a refund. I assume the purpose of OE Classic accessing the Internet is to ensure the same license code can't be used to activate more than one copy. That makes OE Classic considerably more expensive: if I need a home copy, a work copy, and a laptop copy, that's $111; quite a bit steeper than it sounded at $37! So even if they do come up with a solution for #2, I may still ask for a refund and just use #1 instead. Or I could activate it on XP but use (free) Mozilla Thunderbird for the other two PCs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mathwiz Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 @roytam1: This is just a heads-up: Something went wrong in the latest Serpent 55 version. Proofhub.com no longer works. Most pages come up blank or badly scrambled. I reverted to an earlier version and all was well again. Hang tight; I'll work on narrowing down exactly which version broke Proofhub.com by Jan. 3 and post back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not technically corrupt (well it could be said from the older version perspective), sometimes you just have to move/migrate things around, rewrite some data to improve something and the old version obviously doesn't understand these changes. It's a one-way thing and the only guaranteed way back is with a backup.

There are registry settings specifying how exactly should the associated program be invoked, so you can put whatever arguments you need there. Does shell->open->command ring any bells? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
