Up to now Firefox 4 beta was installable in parallel to previous versions. This just changed for Firefox 4.0b4 which is just about being published from the mozilla:beta repository. Please keep in mind that most addons are not compatible yet and there might be other issues.
Do _NOT_ update blindly but I felt it was time to ship the next step within a "beta" repository.
this means if i want to run both versions, i have to compile one from source with different prefix, right?
Depends on what you want to do. The previous method which allowed to install both at the same time was not optimal anyway since they were using the same profile. Parallel execution was not possible therefore and it's always a bit dangerous to go back major versions with a profile. That's another reason why I stopped providing the parallel install. If you want to try FF4 you can backup your profile, install the new version and use it. If you want to go back you can do so by downgrading to the 3.6 version. You can also install the new version, copy /usr/lib/firefox to /usr/lib/firefox4 (or whatever), downgrade to 3.6 again so you have both installed. There would be no desktop file though but you could start FF4 by /usr/lib/firefox4/firefox.sh. Or you just can fetch the upstream tarball which is not 100% perfect integrated into openSUSE but the differences are not that much. It all depends what you want to do.
