I have two situations where I need to have FF17 with Java 1.6 and FF19 with Java 1.7. Both profiles are working basically; the FF19 is fully configured and the FF17 is the new profile, which is partially configured.

I am using Linux x86_64 and I have created two profiles Default(FF19) and FF17. Following instructions I have ~/.mozilla/plugins where the Java 1.7 is installed and is working fine.

When I run up the FF17 and access the target page, FF prompts me to install the Java plugin, which I would like but I cannot install the default Java 1.7, I need to install Java 1.6.

I have installed the Profile FF17 :- ~/.mozilla/firefox/firefox17

You can create a plugins folder like ~/.mozilla/firefox/cc07ye9d.default/plugins to install a plugin for only that profile.
The same for ~/.mozilla/firefox/firefox-17/plugins directory.
That should make those plugins appear on the about:addons page (Tools > Add-ons > Plugins).

Plugins found via other locations will probably also show, but you can disable them a desired.

Sorry, I am not familiar with Firefox on Linux, but Plugins are installed to a Firefox installation (Program Files in Windows) - not the Profile.

IMO, a ~symlink to the applicable version of Java for each Firefox version would be the path to follow.

You can create a plugins folder in each Firefox profile folder and put a symlink to the plugin in that folder.

Note that you can install Java 6U43 in a specific directory via the bin version instead of the RPM version to have them both available.

Hi Cor-el.

I have downloaded the zip format for the required JRE, so I now have several JREs available, only on is the default directory.

Can you provide me with a directory example of the multiple "plugins" directory pls - just to have it clarified. There is a "plugins" directory above the Default Profile - which seems to be a "global" plugins directory.

plugins$ ls -1 ~/.mozilla/

  • extensions
  • firefox
  • plugins

plugins$ ls -1 ~/.mozilla/firefox/

  • cc07ye9d.default [Default Profile - FF19]
  • Crash Reports
  • firefox-17 [New Profile - FF17]
  • profiles.ini

Can I create a "plugins" directory at both Profile levels, as :-

  1. ~/.mozilla/plugins ---> keep this one empty ??
  2. ~/.mozilla/firefox/cc07ye9d.default/plugins
  3. ~/.mozilla/firefox/firefox-17/plugins
