I'm now going to try Firefox3 (Beta5) - without affecting my Firefox2 installation (using Portable Edition)

I've waited, read a bit, waited a bit more, and now I think it's time to try out the new version.... I'm cautious by nature, and when I found out that it's possible to install Firefox3Beta without affecting my "stable" version 2 (yes, I'm referring to the version that sometimes guzzles up CPU and RAM!}, I decided to follow that route.

Thanks for this info go to Gina: http://lifehacker.com/376551/the-complete-field-guide-to-testing-firefox-3

More specifically: From http://lifehacker.com/355973/make-your-extensions-work-with-the-firefox-3-beta to manually edit Firefox 3's configuration to run extensions no matter what.

Mozilla Firefox, Portable Edition 3 Beta 4 can be downloaded from here:

Your Firefox 2 settings can be copied by following these instructions:

When you are ready to take the plunge, then download Firefox3 beta from here: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-beta.html
