Hi, before the recent discovery of the great rare exceptional Firefox-for-windows-7 , I was using official firefox esr 115 compatible with my windows 7 os 32 bits :

https://www.mozilla.org/fr/firefox/all/desktop-esr/win/fr/

even if I am not very satisfied with this browser because it has an old kernel 115 and I can not use the extension "live stream downloader" which does not detect any video because the kernel is too old, I like to keep a stable firefox as a precaution and I think fiefox has tested hardware compatibility, and generally I like to install different firefox forks because I can install in each fork a different ad blocking extension, for example :

I can also experiment with things in firefox forks and have the freedom to completely disable session store, acessiblity services....

but yesterday, when installing the new 32-bit version of Firefox-for-windows-7, Firefox-for-windows-7 erases firefox esr 115, Mr @e3kskoy7wqk , is it possible please to keep both versions please i.e. Firefox-for-windows-7 does not erase firefox esr?

i also plan to install the new firefox esr 128 fork made by Mr K4sum1:

https://github.com/Eclipse-Community/r3dfox/releases/tag/v128.6.0

i don't really know if firefox esr 128 will also erase Firefox-for-windows-7 browser, what do you think Mr @K4sum1 about this problematic? maybe change the name of browser or path to avoid possible conflict ?

Hi, changing the name of the browser or its path should be feasible, but I prefer not to do so. My suggestion is to use the portable version, you can extract the browser to any location you like, allowing you to keep both versions.

There is no problem, thank you :) anyway i prefer use recent firefox kernel to use cat cacth and live stream downloader extensions and Firefox-for-windows-7 is stable enough so i think no more need to firefox esr :)
