MultiFirefox 2.0 is “a little launcher app that, when copied to your Apps folder along with the accompanied Firefox3.app file, will let you create and/or select an additional profile, as well as the version of Firefox that you wish to use. It’s clean, it’s simple, and it works.”

Hi folks!
There is a very different use for MultiFirefox:
I use MultiFirefox in connection with Vidalia for anonymous surfing and downloading! In connection with LaLL (Launch aLL) you are able to start Vidalia and MultiFirefox together. After launching, you only have to choose from your anonymous or default profiles, depending on whether you want fast or safe surfing. MultiFirefox also allows you (in conjunction with Vidalia) multiple (parallel) downloads as a “free-user” in RapidShare and cohorts. Usually they log your IP and also use cookies and your browsers history to suppress exactly those multiple downloads. MultiFireFox 2.0 lets you run up to 5 versions of FireFox side by side so you can manage up to 10 (!) Parallel downloads at the same time. MultiFirefox is a great solution, especially if you want to download many “.part-files”. Just use MultiFirefox and Vidalia and you’ll never need a paid accoun!
Thanks for the tip Peter!
