I installed mozila aurora when I already have firefox on my computer. But every time when i turn on one of them it check compatibility with add-ons, and opens a page just like i am dowenloaded firefox now. so,i know that i need to create another profile,i did it,but now both [Firefox and Aurora] work on the same profile.so how can i change the profile? (sorry for my english)

ok.i go to the command line argument [windows-run] and what do i need to write there? the profile name? do it when aurora is open?
wow ok thx!! i understand. one little more question can i remove the old shortcut?
all works but now i have another problem:when i want to update aurora it says: update could not be installed Please make sure there are no other copies of Firefox running on your computer what can i do?
Forget using the command line in the Windows -> Run box, you'd have to type there each time. Assuming that you created a desktop shortcut already, try something like this in the Target line of a Firefox desktop shortcut
"C:\Program Files\Mozilla\Aurora 25\firefox.exe" -p "Profile Name"
You would need to add a space -p another space and then the name of the new Profile, to what automatically appears in the Target line.
Example is here- http://kb.mozillazine.org/Shortcut_to_a_specific_profile , which was linked from both page that I hyperlinked before.
THX! About the update in aurora its all works now. but i downloaded aurora in 8/19 and i check for update and i have an update. It's every time updated like that? day after day? [I promise you-this is the last question]
Yes, Aurora receives daily updates, when there is a "check-in" of new or changed code from the last time Aurora was "built". After all, it is an alpha development version, but 6 weeks advanced in the development stage from the Nightly builds on the same day.
Every new Firefox version spends 6 weeks in the Nightly channel, then 6 weeks in Aurora, followed by 6 weeks in Beta before becoming the new Release version.
ok. thank you very much!
Firefox on the Aurora channel stops updating for a few days when a new Firefox version is released to allow the tree to stabilize when moving to the next Aurora version.
The Beta version currently gets two updates a week apart from the first week (week 1) and last week (week 6) when only one update is released.
