How to install multiple version of Mozilla

Hi uTesters

I want to share a small knowlodge with you all, might be some of you are much aware about it...I am going to tell you the steps to install multiple version of Mozilla on single pc.

Note: This will also work with Mozilla Suite, Seamonkey and Netscape

It is easy to make these versions of Netscape/Mozilla/Firefox co-exist with each other. Install them into separate directories and create a different profile for each browser you install. (For non-Netscape/Mozilla users, this browser allows you to create different profiles so that you can store different settings for different situations.)

To create a different profile for Firefox, simply start Firefox with the following command line: "c:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox" -P ProfileManager"

Once you've finished creating profiles, you will want to create shortcuts (Windows terminology) to run the different versions of the browser. This makes life easier for you: you can simply click the appropriate icon for the different versions, and it will load using the correct profile. To specify which profile the browser is to load, put the profile name after the "-P" option.

For example, if you have created a profile named "netscape6", your command for running (say) Netscape with that profile may look like
"C:\Program Files\Netscape\Netscape 6\netscp6.exe" -P netscape6"

Similarly, your command to run the Firefox with a profile called "firefox" may look like:

"c:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox" -P firefox"

And so on...in case of any difficulties you can contact me @ gtalk - sahjaykumar@gmail.com

Thanks
Jay,
Happy Testing
