There are ways to fix this, You can use the built in profile manager in Firefox to set each version to use a different profile, this solves about 85% of the problems associated with having FF2 and FF3 installed at the same time. The problem is that every time you lauch FF it asks you which profile you'd like to use unless you set one as default for one FF install and the other as default for the second FF install. I've run in to issues where FF3 will overwrite and change a profile in ways that FF2 doesn't like and vice versa. Haven't corrupted one yet but the thought has crossed my mind.
On the windows side you add "C:\program files\mozilla\firefox\firefox.exe" -no-remote option to the end of your FF shortcuts (v2 and v3) and it will flag FF to allow multipule instances to run. I don't know how to do this on OSX (something I need to work on).
