Test with older versions of Firefox

Question

I had a situation where a user saw an error on her browser which is Firefox. It might be an older version. Is there a way to test multiple versions of Firefox without downloading a bunch of them?

Answer 1

You can use Utili Mozilla Firefox collection if you want to test your site in different versions of Firefox. It's really convenient - a lot of versions in one pack.

Answer 2

Yes you can do this. I have gone through multiple links to find its solution. For example you want to install firefox 4.0 but want to keep 3.6 as well then you need to install Firefox 4.0 using the Custom Installation option, in a uniquely named folder — like /Program Files/Firefox 4.0/ — don't let 4.0 run after the installation procedure is complete.

Create a new profile exclusively for the 4.0 beta version and create a desktop shortcut with -P "profile" appended to the target to launch that profile.

Helpful links will be link1 and link2.

During the search I have also found one software utilu that may be useful, but clearly speaking I have not tried that yet, will try later.
