Pale Moon x64 removes Pale Moon x86 shortcuts

First of all, I'd like to thank you immensely for this amazing browser, it's worlds apart from Firefox and much more usable.

Secondly, as I like to experiment with both versions (given the x86 version is supposedly faster and has more plugins), I've installed both the x86 and x64 versions. If installing x86 then x64, the x64 installer will remove all instances of the Pale Moon x86 version from the Start Menu or desktop.

Is there not a way to prevent this, like changing the shortcut name of the x64 version? I've had to manually rename this to 'Pale Moon x64' and add the relevant shortcuts for the x86 version to my Start Menu to show both, but can the installer not do this instead?

No, there isn't really a way to prevent this (apart from using the portable version for one of the two - but then you'd still have to make a manual shortcut to the portable version).

The installer is designed to only have a single active copy of the browser on a system, not two. Normally, you would choose to have either the x86 or the x64 version installed. Also, you have to realize that the installer makes registry entries for the last installed version re: installation location, etc.
