I share my computer with the household.

I prefer Firefox 3.6.16

Another user would like to try Firefox 4.

Can we install v4 and keep v3 for me?

Do a custom install and install each version in its own program folder to use multiple Firefox versions.

Create a new profile exclusively for each Firefox version and create a desktop shortcut with -P "profile" appended to the target to launch each Firefox version with its own profile.

See these mozillaZine KB articles for information:

I'm working my way through this information. I'll let you know how it goes after I give it a try.

Thanks,
