i have two version of Firefox and have two different problem that when i close one and open another then i found that they spent some second on checking compatibility of plugins so if i can stop them to check compatibility then how i can.

second thing is that are i can install plugin for separate version. like a version of Firefox have support this version of plugin and it's probably not sure that same version of plugin support in another version of Firefox.


so their is two queries i have about Firefox.

How i can stop Firefox to check compatibility of plugin everytime when i open them.

How i can install plugin in Firefox separately then their is no need to install them again when i open another version of Firefox

You need to use separate profile folders for each version. Firefox will perform a compatibility check and recreate all cache files if you switch versions.

Create a new profile exclusively for each Firefox version and create a desktop shortcut with -P "profile" appended to the target to launch each Firefox version with its own profile.

See these mozillaZine KB articles for information:

Do you mean plugins (Tools > Add-ons > Plugins) or extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) ?

Extensions can easily be installed if you use separate profiles. Firefox 4 will also recognize plugins that you install in the plugins folder in theFirefox Profile Folder, but you need to create that folder yourself and copy the plugins files to it.
