how do I install firefox so I can use in separate browser window apart from nightly???

I would like to use Firefox, Nightly and/or Waterfox as separate browsers at the same time. How do I install so they are not combined into one.  ???? windows 7 64 bit

You could use a portable version for one of them. You could alternately set up a separate profile for one of them.

You can install multiple Firefox versions via a custom install in different installation folders and only use the older Firefox version when you really need it. Do a custom install and install each version in its own program folder to use multiple Firefox versions.

Make sure not to start Firefox after the installation has finished.
Create a new profile exclusively for each Firefox version.
Create a desktop shortcut with -P "profile" appended to the target to launch each Firefox version with its own profile.

Use the -no-remote command line switch to open another Firefox instance with its own profile and to run different Firefox instances simultaneously.
