Personally, and call me nuts if you want, but I wish that there was a way of installing FF3 OVER FF2, like an upgrade. Guess the RC1 will have that feature maybe.

I upgraded from beta 4 to beta 5 several hours ago. It's fast and stable.
I stopped using FF2 a couple of weeks ago. If this is how their betas work, the final release will be absolutely incredible.

Sorry for the double post.

FF3 Beta doesn't install over FF2. You don't need a PortableApps version to try it out. Don't get me wrong, PortableApps does great work!

Doesn't FF3B5 already do this? It does not install over your current FF installation (while it is in beta at least). I installed it yesterday, tried to hack my extensions to work, and uninstalled FF3 when the hack killed it. FF2 works just fine with no reinstall.

As soon as I saw that Beta 5 was out, I hit portableapps.org and downloaded and upgraded my Beta 4. Three extensions don't work now, but, oh well. Nothing I can't live without.

@lexbaby: almost amusingly, that only seems to happen to me using firefox.

Is there any way to run the portable and the main app side by side?

Is there any way to run the portableapp and the "main" firefox application side by side?

You can also install the portable apps beta 5 into the same directory as the beta 4 and it will keep all your settings/extensions intact. Makes me wonder why install the regular version??
