Can you have more that 1 version of FireFox on your computer at the same time?

When FireFox 3 came out, I tried it and found it to be too slow and cpu intensive for my computer, so I went back to FireFox 2 which worked better.

Now with FireFox 3.5 out, I am tempted to try it. My question is, can I install that and still have FireFox 2, or will it overwrite it? I don't want to lose FireFox 2 if the new one is too slow.

I have the new firefox and it seems to work well because I haven't had problems with it on Vista. I pretty sure you canot have 2 at once because when you download a new version it usually overwrites or asks you to get rid of the other version. And if you could have both, it might cause some messed up files between the confusion of the two.

So here are all the old firefox download. Download the new one and if you don't like it then you can always take it off and download the old one again.

If I recall right, I had one version with portable Firefox on my flashdrive and a newer version on my computer. So you might get the portable first and then try the new version. Save the portable on a flash drive.
