AuroraFox and TenFourFox both use the same profile directory, so they will
clash (they both appear to the Mac as a continuation of Firefox, which is
by design). AuroraFox and TenFourFox have different default settings; while
there is crosspollination between them, and Tobias also is a valued TenFourFox
contributor, they are two different projects.

Also, keep in mind that AuroraFox is past that point in Mozilla where Carbon
QuickDraw plugins stop working (see my other message), so what you're
observing is likely a product of different codebase support levels.

This method is not recommended, but if you must hide one set of settings
from the other and still use both browsers, you will need to run multiple
profiles.

Ah, that solves one mystery. Now, anybody know how to reverse the hide
and seek game Leopard Webkit has played with my spoofed Flash?
