Do a second install

Post by stymiee »

Is it possible to do a second install of Firefox into a different folder then the default install directory so I can test nightly builds AND have my stable release for regular use?

Of course. I've had 5 builds up at the same time before.

Is it possible to do with the new installer or do I have to do it manually?

Ya know. I'm glad these boards are anonymous. I was about to post that you can't choose where to install FF but I decided to doublecheck just to be 1000% sure and low and behold, you can.
