Want 2 seperate Firefox browsers in 2 monitors, how?

Doosht · 1 Feb 2010 at 15:44

ok im trying a move to the mac again for about 3rd time. Ive got an old (but perfectly good!) Powerbook G4 with Tiger 10.4.11 installed.

I like firefox for different reasons but am struggling to open 2 instances of this at once where as it was simple with windows. How can i get firefox on both monitors running independent of each other please?

TIA

Do you need two instances running or do you mean you want two separate windows? If you just need two windows press Command+N or go to File>New Window

Or if you want to put an existing tab into a new window, click and drag the tab off the tab bar and it will create a new window

The G4 will die on flash - make sure you install 'click to flash'!

Edited now. Just swapped back to my small Apple keyboard, so I'll blame that for being so small.

Ha, "click to flash" is the safari version.

Any flash blocker will do the trick in firefox.

You might want to try the excellent optimised builds

There you can find G4, even G3 builds!
