I have Firefox 2/3 installed together and I have no issue for build. As  
for the user data, in the release note said that it should be fixed in  
3.0.1 and 2.0.0.15. But I think it still does say it's first time use  
firefox page if you switch firefox2 <-> firefox3 at the each time, thought.

New in Firefox 3.0.1)
