Dec 17, 2020 What is interesting about Ruffle is that its developers have created browser extensions for Firefox, Chromium-based browsers such as Chrome, Edge, Brave, Opera, or Vivaldi, and for Safari. Installation of Ruffle in the browser of choice adds Flash emulation to the browser. All current browsers, including Chrome, Firefox and Edge, have removed the plugin that powered some of your favourite Flash games. As there are many fans of the classic Flash games, a solution was needed to allow playing Flash games in a safe environment. The solution is Ruffle, a new browser extension designed as a Flash Player emulator which. I did a previous video about using the Ruffle Flash Emulator, and after that you guys have asked how to install it and use it on browsers. So from that I've.

Note: Because your preferences and extensions often cause problems, this article does not explain how to copy these between profiles. If you follow the steps in this article, you will have to reinstall your extensions and reconfigure your Firefox preferences.

Before starting it is recommended that you make a complete backup of your existing Firefox profile in case something goes wrong. Please read the Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles article for instructions.

For information on how to create a brand new Firefox profile, please read the Profile Manager - Create, remove, or switch Firefox profiles article.

Important: Firefox must be closed down while copying files between profile folders. Also, Step 1 refers to your 'old' profile folder - the profile containing data you want to copy to a new profile. If you can't open a profile from within Firefox, see Finding your profile without opening Firefox.

While copying your personal data from an old Firefox profile to a new Firefox profile, it is possible that you could copy over the file that is causing the problem you are trying to get rid of! The more files you copy over, the greater the chance of this happening. It is therefore recommended that:

  • You copy over only the minimal amount of files that contain your most important data that you simply can't live without.
  • You copy over a few files at a time, and then check that the problem you are trying to get rid of hasn't returned.
Note: By default, Windows hides the AppData folder where Firefox stores your profile. To set Windows to show hidden files and folders, see Show hidden files - Windows Help.

Based on information from Transferring data to a new profile - Firefox (mozillaZine KB)

Users on 64-bit Windows who download Firefox can get our 64-bit version by default. That means you get a more secure version of Firefox, one that also crashes a whole lot less. How much less? In our tests so far, 64-bit Firefox reduced crashes by 39% on machines with 4GB of RAM or more.

Ruffle For Chrome

What’s the difference between 32-bit and 64-bit?

Here’s the key thing to know: 64-bit applications can access more memory and are less likely to crash than 32-bit applications. Also, with the jump from 32 to 64 bits, a security feature called Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR) works better to protect you from attackers. Linux and macOS users, fret not, you already enjoy a Firefox that’s optimized for 64-bit.

How do you get 64-bit Firefox?

Ruffle Firefox Extension

If you’re running 64-bit Windows (here’s how to check), your Firefox may already be 64-bit. Check your Firefox version (in the “About Firefox” window) and look for “(32-bit)” or “(64-bit)” after the version number:

Ruffle Microsoft Edge

  • If you see “(32-bit)” and you are running Firefox 56.0 or older, updating to the latest Firefox version should automatically upgrade you to 64-bit.
  • If you see “(32-bit)” and are running Firefox 56.0.1 or newer, then your computer may not meet the minimum memory requirement for 64-bit (3 GB RAM or more). You can still manually install 64-bit Firefox, if you choose.

Ruffle Firefox Background

If you need to run 32-bit Firefox or manually install 64-bit Firefox, you can simply download and re-run the Windows (32-bit or 64-bit) Firefox installer from the Firefox platforms and languages download page.
