Hello!
Quick question: How do i completely separate (also with distinct names) Firefox instances?
What i mean by that:
On my old Intel Mac, i’ve made 4 copies of Firefox, one for work, safe browsing, and apps. I’ve renamed each with FF-name so i can quickly open them with spotlight. Each has it’s own profile.
For that i “only” need to edit the Info.plist and all worked.
However since then i migrated to Apple Silicon and MacOs Ventura, which seems to interfere with my approach.
Do you guys have an alternative idea or better approach? Maybe docker containers or anything?
My main intent is that i have them as separate applications, so i can open them with spotlight and also do not accidentally share the wrong instance in a conference call.
Other options: Firefox Beta, Firefox Developer Edition, and Firefox Nightly. Beta and Developer are very stable, and honestly Nightly is pretty stable as well (but it updates a lot). Possibly you could replace it with Librewolf.
That sounds like an interesting idea, I’ll test that out, thanks!
