Installation options for JonDoFox

Option 1: Integration in Firefox

This installation option integrates the JonDoFox profile in a locally installed Firefox, so that JonDoFox operates seamlessly with your system. Any previous Firefox configuration you may have created remains untouched by the installation. After installing, you may choose between both your profile and the JonDoFox configuration at each start of Firefox.

First, install Firefox on your system if you haven't done so yet. After that, you may install JonDoFox as follows:

• Windows

  Download the JonDoFox installation program. Start the downloaded program by a (double) click and follow the instructions.

• Mac OS X
  1. Download the file JonDoFox_OS_X.dmg.
  2. Open the file by double clicking. Then launch JonDoFox_Install with another double click.

  Notice
  The installer may also be used for deinstalling the previously installed profile, but beware:
  Please do not change the entries that the installer creates. Otherwise, a clean installation cannot be guaranteed! Also, only use the installer for deinstallation if you have also used it for installing JonDoFox.

• Linux
  1. Download the file profile.zip.
  2. Unpack the file, e.g. from the command line, using the command: user@computer#:/> unzip profile.zip -d target.
  3. Go to the directory where you placed the files: user@computer#:/> cd target.
  4. To install JonDoFox, run the script install_linux.sh from there: user@computer#:/target> ./install_linux.sh

Notice
When a new version of JonDoFox is released, you may always install the new version "on top of" the old one, i.e. into the same directory using the above mentioned steps. Your bookmarks will be kept.

Option 2: "Portable"

The portable installation is recommended for removable drives. It will not integrate with your system. If needed, you have to create any links to the JonDoFox program files yourself.

Windows (2000, XP, Vista)

The JonDoFox installation program is also prepared for a portable installation. If you choose the "for travelling" option, you may install JonDoFox on both a removable drive and your hard drive. Any existing Firefox or JonDoFox installation remains untouched as long as you do not install JonDoFox to the same directory and thus update an existing installation. While updating from earlier JonDoFox versions your bookmarks are kept. JonDoFox Portable automatically integrates with the PortableApps menu for which a lot of other applications are available as well.
