Bug Description
Binary package hint: firefox
With both versions of Firefox installed, they use the same profile, which causes problems w.r.t. plugins: some plugins work in FF 2, others in FF 3, while the rest are disabled (e.g. flash-nonfree works in FF2, but NoScvript works in FF3)
Worth, installing plugins to FF 2 gives errors (e.g. installing NoScript from NoScript WWW) and doesn't seem to install properly. The AddOns dialog to enable plugins doesn't respond when on presses the Enable button.

marking as dup of bug#200235
The problem is they use seperate profile dir. and its only copying to one of them instead of carrying over. this should be fixed by release time if not before.
