An alternative way to do it, if you've got multiple users already on 
your machine is to install as user2, automatically avoiding user1's 
profile and then do something like:

xhost +local:user2
su user2
nohup /path/to/firefox3 &
exit

Makes the most sense if you already have a second user account for 
playing with stuff.
