Allow independent FireFTP processes to run Firefox

I am also a loyal user of ScribeFire, and its split window (when writing an article, it is very convenient to reference and reference other articles ), when you click the Add link button, the current URL or clipboard URL is automatically inserted, which is not available in other offline blogging tools. When running in an independent window (for example), the features mentioned above are no longer special.

The trick to run ScribeFire in an independent window is to use a startup parameter-chrome (this parameter is evil ). Take running ScribeFire independently as an example: Create a shortcut for Firefox, and set the path to: firefox path-chrome: // scribefire/content/scribefire. xul. Note: Modify the firefox path to your FF path. You can also use the portable version and run it.

I was excited when I saw this technique. I have always dreamed of the function: to allow FTP extension FireFTP to run as an independent process! For example, you can see that I have disabled FireFTP and successfully run it. FireFTP is a very useful FTP client, not only does not support Chinese paths, it is quite perfect. Because I only use one Firefox configuration file (I am too lazy to make the second configuration), installing this type of extension once only for a long time will make Firefox more and more bloated. If you install it in the second configuration, it is inconvenient to run.

Now we have the-chrome parameter to solve the problem! Install FireFTP In the second configuration. You can use the-ProfileManager parameter to start the profile manager to create a new configuration. Create a shortcut: firefox path-no-remote-profile P: \ FirefoxPortable2 \ Data \ profile-chrome: // fireftp/content/fireftp. xul.

Note: The firefox path here cannot be set to the portable version. Also, change P: \ FirefoxPortable2 \ Data \ profile to the Second Configuration path. Here-the no-remote parameter is used to start the second Firefox process. I didn't add this parameter at first, but it was not enough for a long time. Finally, I found this article on Blog on 27th Floor: I ran two Firefox instances at the same time. This can also be done for the penpencil extension (drawing a graphic interface draft) suitable for programmers. There is also the RSS reading extension Newsfox. Tutoring: Newsfox handles RSS full-text output

In addition to the independent running extension, various built-in functions of Firefox can be called independently. For example, the Download Manager address is chrome: // your apps/content/downloads. xul. An extreme example: When downloading a compressed package, you do not choose to save it, but open it. After the download is complete, you accidentally close the windows for understanding the compressed software and Firefox. For extra-curricular reference, refer to the official address list of Firefox built-in functions.

-The chrome parameter has another advantage: Maximize (no status bar, no bookmarks, no menu bar) load a webpage. For example, Gmail or Google Reader, the disadvantage is that the GreaseMonkey script cannot work.

Based on the description in the article, we know that there are many firefox plug-ins, and FireFTP is still very good!
