I can't seem to unearth any information about this, so I don't even know if it's possible to do easily.

As it stands, I'm using Firefox 2.0. I want to try out the alpha of 3.0, but don't want to deal with copying the .app file and profile folder back and forth for each version when I decide to run whichever one.

Since both versions place their profile folder in the same location, I can't just run the different apps because they'll overwrite one another.

Does anyone know of a way to either change where Firefox saves its profile folder so I can have 2 versions running (not necessarily at the same time) or otherwise work out being able to have both installed without interfering with each other?
