Public bug reported: Many users want to have stable and beta/alpha version of Firefox together on system, for compare and test features. In windows there are easy, but in Linux - not easy.
Here if official Mozilla PPA for beta versions: Official PPA for Firefox Beta https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/ubuntu/firefox-next Official PPA for Thunderbird Beta https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/ubuntu/thunderbird-next But packages in all this PPA replaces current stable version of Firefox in system, so users can't run at same time two versions of Firefox. Compiling Firefox from sources is too hard way for most of users - нere is example of long instructions how to do this manually: http://askubuntu.com/questions/548003/how-do-i-install-the-firefox- developer-edition And here is good example for trunk version https://launchpad.net /~ubuntu-mozilla-daily/+archive/ubuntu/ppa - I can install it separately via easy way, without touching current system stable firefox. Can you provide same separate package for firefox beta versions, named like firefox-beta, that install Firefox beta together with system Firefox package, with separate config folder, without touching system default firefox? And will be good to see same PPA with separate Firefox deveopment version (firefox-dev) package and alpha versions. This will be very useful for many users!
