Hi,

Probably a dumb question but can I have two versions of Firefox on my system at the same time?

The reason is because of Add Ons that are not compatible with v4. I'd like to be able to close v4 when I need to use an Add On in v3.

Thanks.

You can install them both but there are a few steps to take.

When you install Firefox 4 use the custom installation option and choose a different location to install Firefox.

In order to use both versions, you need to create a new profile for Firefox 4 (Firefox stores user data in the profile). Using the same profile with different versions can cause problems. Once you create a new profile you can copy certain data such as bookmarks and passwords between them. You can also use Firefox Sync to keep the profiles synchronized. Finally, you will need to set up shortcuts to launch the correct profile for each version.

This is a follow-up question re: "choose a different location to install Firefox"

If FF 3.6.16 is located in Program Files/Mozilla Firefox, would Program Files/Firefox be a different (enough) location? I'm running XP.

Thanks

Yes, that will do
