+Yes, just download both software into their own folders and start them 
+from their folders. If you do this, then I would suggest you remove the 
+Mageia version off your machine through the MCC -- this will stop you 
+from starting the Mageia version which will confuse you.
+
+HOWEVER, be warned that if you do this, you can sometimes run into 
+dependency problems. This is why our great Mageia devs use the Firefox 
+ESR and Thunderbird ESR versions (Extended Support Release)[1] which are 
+official corporate versions of these packages. There are fewer upgrades 
+but ALL security patches are sent in from Mozilla AND our Mageia devs 
+make sure that all dependencies/bugs are covered/fixed properly.
+
+IMO, it is safer to use the Mageia version than the latest from Mozilla.
+
+NOTE: I am not a Mageia dev.
+
+Cheers,
+
+Marc
