Can we install Firefox-Quantum and Firefox-Developer on ubuntu16 side by side?
I've installed Firefox-quantum using the PPA. I want to try out Firefox-developer. Is Firefox-quantum exactly the same as firefox-developer minus the webdev tools? Can we install both of them together on Ubuntu 16? If yes, then how?

Hello, Firefox Developer Edition is Beta 58 right now, with a developer wrench added in the UI. it contains all the new features included in Firefox 58. Firefox Quantum is version 57, and is generally as fast as Dev Edition.
So, can we install both of them together?
Yes you can.
How? What is the ppa for developer edition? Also, will there be 2 icons for both of them? or will I have to run either one of them using the command line?
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-mozilla-daily/firefox-aurora sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install firefox
I ran the above commands. Nothing happened. I don't see Firefox-developer. What could be the problem?
That thread was about when the Developer Edition was essentially a whole separate channel. Now the Developer Edition is basically same as Beta channel builds but with Developer Edition features which is why it has b# on end.
