New User

[tunescool]

how do i make a new user

[Shadeclan]

What do you mean by "New User"? Do you mean "New Profile"?

[tunescool]

yea thats what i mean

[Shadeclan]

Start PaleMoon with the following parameter:

Code: Select all

palemoon.exe -ProfileManager

OR

Code: Select all

palemoon.exe -P

This will bring up the profile manager. If you have other questions, ask away!

im in the mac forum aint i

Sorry - wasn't paying attention.

I'm not familiar with Mac - you can't start things with command-line parameters? I thought Macs were Linux-based now and had terminals and such.

If Macs have terminals, you could bring up the terminal and enter PaleMoon -p, which should do the trick. Or, you could alter a shortcut (if Macs have such things) and add the parameter to the command-line there.

You'll find additional PaleMoon parameters here

Also, a quick search on command line brought up a path and format for the parameter. If your installation of PaleMoon is in the same place, this should work:

Code: Select all

/Applications/NewMoon.app/Contents/MacOS/palemoon --ProfileManager

[tunescool]

nothing worked, and if i search i cant find anything and in the system files i cant find anything for pale moon or new moon

Not a Mac user here either, but... thought Mozillazine knowledge base might help:

[tunescool]

im not sure if thats the app folder with actual apps in them or a system folder

i tried

Code: Select all

/Applications/NewMoon/Contents/MacOS/newmoon-bin -profilemanager

and where my pale moon is but still nothing

Code: Select all

/MKApps/NewMoon/Contents/MacOS/newmoon-bin -profilemanager

On *nix-based systems you need two dashes for those options (see above).

Assuming that PaleMoon actually lives in this directory on your computer, try this:

Code: Select all

/Applications/NewMoon.app/Contents/MacOS/palemoon --ProfileManager

You forgot the double-dash "--" in the parameter call, as Moonchild advised earlier.

i just looked at it quick and thought it said you dont need the --

I would say that PaleMoon doesn't live in that directory.

Is there a PaleMoon "shortcut" you have access to that starts PaleMoon?

Is there a way to see the properties of that shortcut, if it exists?

Does it contain the path to PaleMoon or does it just have the name of the ... whatever Macs call the executable file?

Can you add the parameter to the "shortcut" somehow?

For me both variants work:

Code: Select all

/Applications/PaleMoon.app/Contents/MacOS/palemoon -profilemanager

Code: Select all

/Applications/PaleMoon.app/Contents/MacOS/palemoon --ProfileManager

But I’m running PaleMoon 27.

To be sure to get the path right, go in finder to the location of your NewMoon.app, right-click on package, choose "show package contents", navigate through Contents > MacOS, there are two binaries palemoon and palemoon-bin, drag one of them into a terminal window add -profilemanager and press enter … if this didn’t work try the other binary.

Thanks - I was hoping that someone who knew their way around a Mac would show up!

The folders you're displaying seem to be shortcuts and not the actual app locations, similar to the Windows "Start" menu.

Does PaleMoon run at all on your machine? The Mac version appears to be an alpha build and not ready for prime-time.

[tunescool]

OK. I won't try helping you anymore. Hopefully, SnowMoon can help you out.
