multifirefoxAs a front end guy I am always looking for ways to help our website look the same in all browsers. When FireFox 3 came out I was all excited for a new browser, however this also means that I would have yet another browser to test in until FireFox 2 phases out. I have noticed some small differences in how FF2 and FF3 render. I came across this little tool that lets me run both of them at the same time. It is called MultiFireFox. It will let you keep all your plug-ins for each version as well. That means that we can use fire bug on both version to help with debugging. I think this version is only for the Mac but for you PC users our there check this out. I’m not sure if there is anything like this for Linux.

    Wow, thanks a lot for sharing. I’ve searched this solution long time since I can’t use a lot of FF Add on with 3.0.XX. Is there IE6 for Mac OS X 10.5.6?

    Yea Multi FireFox is great for using FF 2 plugins. I use Virtual Box on my mac to get IE 6 going. It installs a virtual environment of Windows. From there you can install IE 6 and IE 7 with a program called Multiple IEs. You could also use Parallels or VM Ware Fusion.
