Can I have two different versions downloaded at the same time so that I can choose which Mozilla Firefox Icon to click on when opening my browser? I am running Tor with one right now and the other I want to download is an up to date version that I use for sites that are not blocked here in the U.S.A. 

   Also how do I know what version I am running?  do I click on Properties for example to figure out which Version I am running? or how  do I click on the Icon to get the Version I am running that is already downloaded on my computer?

                                   Thanks in advance,

Do a custom install and install each version in its own program folder to use multiple Firefox versions.

Create a new profile exclusively for each Firefox version.
Create a desktop shortcut with -P "profile" appended to the target to launch each Firefox version with its own profile.
