FAO Mozilla Firefox Gurus - help!

Hi,

Im looking to set up (if its possible), three different types of firefox on my laptop.

-One program for all my online banking, shares and investments stuff.
-One program for all my uni stuff
-One program for all my car stuff.

I don't want to use Explorer at all, so im wondering if i can possibly install firefox 3 times and setup different versions of it for my needs - is this possible?

Cheers,

Agar

Why not put three folders into your bookmark menu?

talk about making things complicated! Just use bookmarks as said you can cant have 3 seperate instances of the same browser. If you have to have 3 seperate, then 1 Firefox, 1 Google Chrome, 1 IE etc

Firefox allows you to have separate user profiles, hence keeping bookmarks, settings, extensions etc.. totally separate.

Compared to what?
Us PC users are pretty fucked when it comes to browsers.
Safari doesnt render fonts properly so it looks like you're reading pages pissed, IE is buggy and constantly hijacked and fucked over, Opera is just plain slow over networks and Google Chrome dies everytime you have any user profile issues.
Granted some of these are network problems that wont affect home users but still, Firefox doesnt suffer any of these and is the fastest (bar Chrome which is silly fast but, as said, unreliable).
