I decided to get on the Aurora bandwagon, to see what the future of Firefox has to hold. But I wanted to neither either disturb my well worn set of Firefox extensions nor lose my ability to start things from Quicksilver. Automator and Firefox Profile Manager to the rescue!

First, install Aurora.

Second, open the profile manager (on OS X from the terminal: /Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox-bin -p. Create a new profile for Aurora. I called mine “aurora”, YMMV.

Third, open Automator and create a new Application. Use the “Run Applescript” action and use do shell script “/Applications/Aurora.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox-bin -P “aurora” for the Applescript in the “your code goes here” part of the action. Save.

Fourth, activate Quicksilver with your chosen keystroke for Aurora (I used aur) and scroll down through the options until you find the app you saved from step three and make it the default for that keystroke.

Voilá!

First post! (again)

It`s been a while since I had a working blog. For some time I was hung up on importing all the backstory, assuming I could piece it together from all the server backups I’ve done when i hade a server rebirth. But in the end I decided to start from scratch. I may try to repost some of the more demanded (he-he) articles but no promises. Lean forward as they say at MSNBC.
