I followed the links you provided.  If I understand them, they aid you 
in compiling and installing from source code.  That is beyond my level 
of expertise.

As a new user I am trying to determine if there is a safe reliable 
method to install them before they are packaged and put in a repository. 
On my test machine I noticed that 3.6 picks up the bookmarks from 3.5 
and was surprised by that.  Also I noticed if I run 3.6 and shut it down 
and open 3.5 it checks for addins and then loads Firefox (en_GB) 3.5.2 
and Xulrunner (en_GB) 1.9.12.

When I setup my new machine for everyday use I want to avoid introducing 
problems if I can.

Thanks, Jim
