Developer multi-firefox at same time: it is possible?

I would love to install several FireFox at same time:

-> 3.6, 5.0, 6.0, 12, 15, 22

I've installed 3.6 (ok), then installed 5.0 (ok).
Both are available.
Now, when I install 6.0, it overwrites 5.0. How can I keep those three at same time?

Thanks,

Edson

You can install multiple

You can install multiple copies of an app by installing it to a folder named other than the default.
So for installing Firefox Portable, you would install 3.6 to a folder called FirefoxPortable3.6, 5 to FirefoxPortable5, 6 to FirefoxPortable6 etc.

Renaming the folder will also prevent the PortableApps Updater from seeing the folder and trying to update the install to the latest version.
