Absolutely. Aside from the compiled Fox not working at all on my system |
| 8 |
right now, and the binary one having problems with my (perhaps outdated) |
| 9 |
Flash plug-in, I had, for the longest time, firefox, firefox-bin, |
| 10 |
mozilla and mozilla-bin running alongside without any problems. |

Note that it is not possible to run them at the same time, though: you |
| 12 |
must completely exit one to be able to launch the other, because |
| 13 |
otherwise the window detection will grab existing windows. In addition, |
| 14 |
they share profiles, so you'd get a profile reuse warning if you managed |
| 15 |
to start them both. |
