Palemoon Browser Query (1 Viewer)

Keith Dickinson

I use palemoon as my browser and am totally happy with it, however I do some of my work via the internet and need to have open several tabs related to this. I was wondering if there is any way to have the browser set up to either, open in birding mode with all my birding tabs etc or open in work mode with all my optics tabs?
If this is possible how easy is it to switch from one to the other?
Could you have both running at the same time?

Or would it be simpler to use something like Chrome for my work stuff and stick with palemoon for my normal browsing?
 
I have opera open at the moment with 17 different tabs, most related to something with birds. When I close the browser and reopen, they are all open again. For different reasons, I prefer having my work webmail open in IE which is also open now. I additionally have a few pages open in Firefox today, but that is not my no 1 choice. All of this on a WinXP machine

Hope this helps

Hi Keith,

You could use 2 versions of PaleMoon at the same time, the installed version plus the portable version - with a little tweak.

If you want to use Pale Moon portable to test
For example to test a different version of Pale Moon while you already have one installed (e.g. new version check, check for compatibilities of add-ons with a major release, etc.) and want to run multiple different versions at the same time, find the following lines in palemoon-portable.ini:

[Environment]
;(multiple istances)
;MOZ_NO_REMOTE=1


and remove the semicolon in front of MOZ_NO_REMOTE
To open a group of websites in the portable browser, open each site in a new tab then go to (Alt) > Tools > Options and, on the first tab (General), set the Home page to "Use Current Pages".
