Running multiple instance of (different version) Firefox concurrently is not so difficult; it requires just a bit of command-line voodoo - with multiple profiles http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_manager (an when you do this the first time - uncheck the 'Don't ask at startup' checkbox. The profile manager will always run when you start firefox, allowing you to choose a profile. You only need to run the command line voodoo once. I'm told there is also an extension that does the same thing - but I don't know more about it. http://jagriffin.wordpress.com/2011/01/11/profilemanager-1-0_beta1/ > I do know that using profiles is not as easy on Mac.

Depending on how your system is configured it might open in the Finder (OS X) or Windows Explorer. On my side, it opens in my FTP client. If you paste that link into the Safari / Chrome location bar, it will open in the Finder on OS X.
