Is there are any way to run Firefox 4 and Firefox 3.6 concurrently?

You can try portable Firefox. I have installed Firefox 4 and use Portable Firefox 3.6.
It is not clear from the question which system you are running firefox.
If this is firefox on linux you can simply download that tarball for each of the versions that you wish to use. Then you can untar to whatever location you want. I suggest :
/opt/mozilla/firefox3.6 /opt/mozilla/firefox4
Thank create a couple of symbolic links to do your job in /usr/bin/ with the commands
ln -s /opt/mozilla/firefox3.6/firefox /usr/bin/firefox
ln -s /opt/mozilla/firefox4/firefox /usr/bin/firefox4
You can also be creative with the naming.
On windows
Just download the versions that you want. Install , they automagically go into different directories. Then go to the installation directories and make shortcuts to you desktop.
Here is a link for older versions:
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
then you should use FF profiles for each of these versions.
firefox -ProfileManager
once you have create the profiles e.g. A and B you can set them in the shortcuts to start with:
firefox -P A
firefox -P B
