Running two versions of Firefox under Mac OS X couldn’t be simpler. The freeware application MultiFirefox takes all the guesswork out of the process by automatically detecting Firefox versions in your main Applications folder and presenting you with a list from which to choose the Firefox versions you’d like to launch. Complete with self-updating (thanks to the ubiquitous Sparkle framework), MultiFirefox is the easiest way to pull off this multi-browser stunt.
Now to Windows Users
Download Firefox 2 and Firefox 3, depending on what you already have installed.
Launch each installer and begin setting up Firefox, but make sure to choose Custom settings.
When asked for a place to install Firefox, change the path(s) to C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox 3\ (or …\Mozilla Firefox 2), instead of just “Mozilla Firefox”. In doing so, you’ll place Firefox 2 at C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox 2\, and Firefox 3 at C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox 3\. Both versions of Firefox should now be in separate folders. (If you already have one version of Firefox installed at C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\, you may choose to leave that where it is and just install the other version in a separate folder, however you’ll have to make a note of which is where, and modify the following instructions accordingly.)
Create a new shortcut to Firefox 2.0 by right-mouse-button-dragging C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox 2\firefox.exe to your Desktop (for now), and choosing “Create Shortcuts Here”. Name the shortcut “Firefox 2″. Repeat for Firefox 3, changing “2″ to “3″ where appropriate.
You’re almost there, but now we have to tell Firefox to keep the two instances separate. Open the Properties window for the Firefox 3 shortcut, and add “ -ProfileManager” (space key, minus sign, ProfileManager) to the end of the string of text in the Target field. Click OK, then run that same shortcut to bring up Firefox’s Profile Manager. Rename the existing “default” profile to “firefox3″, and also create a new “firefox2″ profile:
Once profiles are set, exit Firefox completely. With two profiles in place, each version of Firefox can have its own bookmarks, extensions, and other settings, without interfering with each other.
Open up the properties windows for both the Firefox 2 and Firefox 3 shortcuts you made. Remove the -ProfileManager addition from the Firefox 3 shortcut Target, replacing it with -no-remote -p firefox3 (space key, minus sign, no-remote, space key, minus sign, space key, firefox3). Add the same to the Firefox 2 shortcut, again changing the 3 to a 2. Firefox 3 gets the firefox3 profile, and Firefox 2 gets the firefox2 profile, seen below:
Click OK on both shortcuts to confirm the changes, and finally double-click each to run Firefox 2 and 3 at the same time!
Also, don’t miss LifeHacker’s Power User’s Guide to Firefox 3 for some excellent 3.0 tips and tricks, as well as ArsTechnica’s briefing of what’s to come in Firefox 3.1.
I hope Gina fixes BetterFlickr extension for Firefox 3, since its the only reason I have to go through running two instances of it. hehe

Shot from Nikon D300. Aperture: f/3.2. ISO 400. Lens: Nikon 105mm f/2.8G IF ED AF-S VR Micro Nikkor.
To create a high key, used SB 600 from right side of the camera fired remotely, full power (Diffused using Gary Fong's LightSphere). In camera flash at -2 and Exposure Bias: 2/3 EV. The tone is from the camera mainly used the Monochrome Picture control and slight color balance adjustments from Adobe Photoshop.
