Here is a tip to have
swiftweasel32 and
swiftweasel (64-bit) installed on the same system (though not running simultaneously) with different profiles.
A slight tweak is needed in the script that fires up
swiftweasel32 -
/usr/local/swiftweasel32/swiftweasel
The logic:
While firing up this script creates a copy of the existing firefox profile in a directory called
swiftweasel in your
~/.mozilla/ . The same is true for 64 bit version as well. Hence, the 32-bit and 64-bit version end up sharing the same profile which is something you may not desire due to different plugins and their respective compatibilities.
Hence replace all occurrences of
swiftweasel directory with that of
swiftweasel32 . You may edit it by:
Code:
kdesu kate /usr/local/swiftweasel32/swiftweasel
Please do this manually as you should replace all references to the
swiftweasel directory only. Then fire up swiftweasel32 and it shall have its own profile directory in
~/.mozilla/swiftweasel32 .
This may be useful is cases where one may need both browsers (or even firefox) for experimentation till all the 64-bit plugins are not stable and wants to keep the trials on for both.
