First, prepare two different versions of the Firefox installation package, I am here to prepare 24.0 and 39.0;

Second, install the lower version of 24.0, you can use a typical installation, install to the default directory, such as "C:\Program Files \mozilla Firefox" directory, and generate a desktop shortcut;

Third, in 24.0 of the Firefox shortcut right--->> property-->> The end of the target plus "-p", note "-P" before there is a space, click OK;

Four, double-click the 24.0 Firefox shortcut, start Firefox, the system automatically opens the Firefox user Profile Manager, default is defaults;

Five, select "Create Profile", follow the steps of the wizard, enter the profile name, and the configuration file save path, click Done;

Note: The configuration file name is best not in Chinese, there may be compatibility issues, the profile path should not be placed on the desktop, also do not put on the C drive, preferably in a non-volatile disk, as a profile backup use.

Six, select the newly created profile, click "Start Firefox", then close Firefox, continue to right-click the -->> property-->> the target "-P" and then add a parameter, that is, the profile name you just create, I am here " Profile24 ", after application, so every time Firefox boot will be read from the PROFILE24 configuration information! ；

Seven, install the high version of 39.0, note that the use of custom installation, the path does not use the default, otherwise it will overwrite the previous version, for example, you can use "C:\Program files\mozilla Firefox39" (the name of his own casually, good distinction on the line); It is best not to generate desktop shortcuts during installation.Otherwise, and the desktop has the same name, it is not good,Find the installation directory Firefox.exe send yourselfashortcut to desktop;

Eight, the 39.0 Firefox shortcut also add "-P", also create a new profile and start Firefox (note Do not have the same name as 24.0 of the configuration file, do not in the same folder), after "-P" and add the Firefox profile name, I am here " Profile39 ".
