Hello, I currently use TB 52.6.0 as my main email client. I would like to test/tryout TB 58 Beta 3. Is it possible to install TB 58 Beta 3 and continue to use TB 52.6.0 as my main email client? In other words, will TB 58 Beta 3 automatically upgrade/replace TB 52.6.0? Thank you, R.V.

Just install the TB beta to a different directory, e.g. Program Files (x86)/Mozilla Thunderbird Beta. When you launch it, it will read the default profile already used by the release version. If you want to run it with a separate profile, use Profile Manager to create and run multiple profiles.

To start PM, Windows key+R, type thunderbird.exe -p
