Firefox-2.0.0.3 vs FC6?

[John P. Fisher]

Because I tripped over a bug in Firefox that caused another problem not 
germane here, I upgraded my FC6 box to the latest 3.0 beta (3.0apre) for 
a few days. Actually I ran both versions.
I didn't follow any of the advice given so far. IIRC I untarred it in a 
new directory, changed the /usr/bin/firefox link to point to the 
executable, installed the plugins I wanted, and it found my bookmarks. I 
think I did something to accomodate the profile. Sorry I can't remember 
exactly, but I followed the beta-tester instructions that let you run 
multiple versions. Definitely backup your bookmarks, and all the 
.mozilla directory before you do this. Maybe even better to try it on a 
dummy user. Like me, you'll say? ;>)  Seriously it wasn't bad at all, 
Mozilla is doing pretty well at keeping all their files in one or two 
places.

Hoping this is more helpful than confusing...
