[nfbcs] Is It Possible to Have Two Different Versions of Firefox Installed At the Same Time?

[Joseph C. Lininger]

Nicole,
The easiest way I know of to do this is to use a portable install. This 
way, you don't have multiple installs with registry settings and 
whatever else. You can install one as a portable and one normally, or 
you can run both as a portable install. Your choice. You can get the 
portable version at portableapps.com. I'm pretty sure they have both the 
normal and ESR version of firefox there.

If I were you, I wouldn't bother with the launcher they offer and all 
that. Just download the zip and unzip her to a directory. That directory 
will have an executable called "FirefoxPortable.exe", run that. You can 
create shortcuts to it and such to make it easier to run, and you can 
even associate http URL's with the portable edition if you have the 
right tool to do that. (I have it and can provide it if needed)

I run both my firefox and thunderbird like this so that I can move them 
between machines without battling with overhead and whatever else.
