1. Install (i.e., drag) Firefox4.x into a different folder than Firefox 3.8.x (a sub-folder of the Applications folder or wherever else you like).
2. Launch Firefox 4 with the Profile Manager by entering the following in a Terminal window:
/Path/to/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox-bin -ProfileManager
Replace the "/Path/to" part with the actual path (duh) and type a "Return" at the end of the line.
3. Create a new profile for the 4.x version and uncheck the "Don't ask at startup" box, then click the "Start Firefox" button.
