Fireprofile

===========

**Firefox Profiles Launcher using Local/Portable folders. GPL licensed.**  

WHAT IS FIREPROFILE

-------------------

It's just a simple app that allows you to launch a local (separate) copy of Firefox

using one or many local (separate) profile folder.

CONTRIBUTE AND BUILD

--------------------

* Download / Clone this repository

* Run in Xcode

* Right click on the running app icon then `Options` → `Show in Finder`.

* In the folder that opens up:

  * add a copy of `Firefox.app`.

  * add a `/profile` subfolder with some empty folders inside it that will be used as profiles.

* Close the app and re-run it.

In the same way you can build and keep it as a separate standalone App: `Product` → `Archive` → `Export...`.

KNOWN LIMITATIONS

-----------------

* The folder management is manual: create `/profile` and empty folders inside it with the profile names.

* Doesn't include Firefox.

TODO

----

* UI, Icon...

MAY DO

------

* Manage profiles directly (add/rename/delete)

* Download latest version of Firefox on first launch

CHANGELOG

---------

* **0.9** (29/01/2015)

  * Ported "Portable Firefox CX", an old app I made in 2006, to Swift.
