Firefox 4 - help on install

Post by n2mpujack »

Looks like Firefox is now available for general use (non-beta). Have FF 3.6.16 and it's working really nice (all customized, etc.). I'd like to give the new browser a try but don't want to have it overwrite my existing install of FF. The install is the standard thing of dragging the icon from the expanded dmg file into the Applications folder and it does it's thing. To me that seems like it would overwrite my current install which I don't want to have happen. I'm sticking with OSX 10.6.6 for the moment so the new OSX version isn't a concern right now.

Rename your old application - call it FireFox 3. Now the new installation will not overwrite the old.
