I have also fopund that I have a Beta version FF 3.6 Beta 4 

I have no idea how this was installed, as I have not done it knowingly and consciously !!!

It does not show up in ALL PROGRAMS from START..... But does appear in ADD/REMOVE PROGS via Control Panel....also in MY COMPUTER>Program files !! Both versions work...but my desktop short cut links to FF 3.6.24....and that is what I use all the time. (the Beta version must have been there for some time)..... So this gave me the idea of maybe keeping my current version and also having a separate program FF8.... Until I get used to FF8...(see question https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/897193#answer-277745)

Maybe... 1. Install FF8 to a different location folder..say...Mozilla/Firefoxnew8 

             2. Rename the existing FF version and create new desktop short cut.

But the only problem I can see in these options is that when FF installs a new update automatically, on start up...... depending on which version I am using at the time...... I presume it will look for folder Mozilla/Firefox..... THEN WHAT WILL HAPPEN ??

Your comments would be Most Welcome and appreciated.

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.

Use Firefox Portable 8.0.1 - it won't affect your current Firefox installation.
