Running FF 3.6 or FF 4? Is this possible? Or if I have to choose only 1?

I'm a regular, happy Firefox user. I have version 3.6.15 installed, but I would like to try the beta version 4.0 of FF. Can I have installed in my PC and run one or the other at will?
Thank you.

The beta of Firefox 4 is by default installed in a different location than Firefox 3.6

If you want to use both versions, you must create a new profile for Firefox 4 (Firefox stores the user data in the profile). Using the same profile with different versions can cause problems. Once you create a new profile, you can copy some data such as bookmarks and passwords between them. You can also use Firefox Sync to keep synchronized profile. Finally, you will need to implement shortcuts to launch the right profile for each version.

The following links show how to do this:

On a final note, the official version of Firefox 4 is not far away. Although no date has been set, the next update for Firefox 4 will be the release candidate, which will probably be next week. Note If you install the release candidate, unlike the beta version it by default will replace Firefox 3.6 and install it in its own folder.
