FAFSA is the form to fill out for financial aid for college. I need to fill out the latest form for Spring semester next year. Before I was able to fill it out online and save and send it to the college. When I got to the website and clicked on fill out form, a message came up that I didn't have the right version of my browser, so I downloaded the latest version of Firefox, and then restarted the computer, and went back to the website to try again, and got the same message. Then I had two shortcut icons on my desktop and I can't tell which one is for the latest version of Firefox. When you download the latest version, does it take away the last version that you had previously downloaded?

The fafsa.gov site does not currently support Firefox newer than version 3.6.x. That is their choice.

You can install Firefox Portable version to use only on that site and use your installed current Firefox version for everything else. Firefox Portable is not produced by Mozilla (but is based on Firefox released versions) and is not supported on this site -- has its own support forum (see below). Firefox Portable installs in a separate folder on your hard drive so that it does not interfere with your currently installed Firefox version settings or personal information (bookmarks, passwords, etc.). You can also install Firefox Portable on a USB/thumb/pin/jump drive.
