first, download and install FF3 to a directory DIFFERENT from the one FF2 is installed in. You might want to make a seperate start group for it too. DON'T start it up yet.

then run {pathToFF2}/firefox.exe -p

this will open the profile manager. Make a new profile, eg testProfile.

Now in your start menu shortcut to FF3, change it to "{pathToFF3}/firefox.exe" -p testProfile -no-remote.
