Thank you very much! I’ve been trying to do this for ages!
I wanted a separate FF installation to use as a .ODF reader (with the ODFReader addon for 2.0) and this is just what I needed.

nice tip — works fine! I had a problem with my FireFox 3 shortcut, because I had specified “-P t8ilt26l.default” which is exactly how the default profile folder is named in \%USER%\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles

but this caused Firefox 3 to keep asking me “which profile?” on start-up. Despite the fact I kept checking/unchecking “Don’t ask on start-up”, the problem was that I just needed to specify “default”

So my two shortcuts look like this:
\Mozilla FireFox3\firefox.exe -P default -no-remote
\Mozilla FireFox2\firefox.exe -P firefox-2 -no-remote

You can also install a portable version. I thinks that’s less intrusive.

Nice article but I am using Firefox portable version with 1.5, 2.x and 3.x.
Is there any difference with both methods?
