My friend uses Palemoon and I want him to switch to Firefox. Can he use them both on the same computer to see which one he prefers ??

In my opinion can be installed side by side. The important thing is that only one of them can be the default browser.

They can coexist, but should both use their own profile. You can force this with the -p startup parameter (you can edit the shortcut to the program to include this parameter).

It may work to use the same profile, but in case it becomes corrupted, you know how it might have happened :)
