The referenced article omits the fact that the Mozilla:Beta repository requires the Mozilla repository.

You may also notice that the NoScript icon for versions >= 2.9.0.1 no longer appears in KDE 4. It is necessary to update mozilla-kde4-integration with the version in the Mozilla repository to restore correct operation.

I should say that some people have made a good job under Ubuntu and Fedora in making possible to install both FF versions (3x and 4 beta) in parallel. Under Ubuntu, FF4 saves its profile in a different directory ( ~/.mozilla/firefox-4.0). Under Fedora, you have to create a separate profile. As I noticed running both in parallel wasn’t possible - or would have been to complicated under openSUSE - I haven’t updated Firefox yet.

Actually it was like that until i guess beta3 or 4, but for later builds, it just overwrite the 3.6.x settings and give you only one option to use.

Just for the uninitiated here:

Might be a plan to keep a backup of .mozilla
