Can both versions be installed on the same machine?

I understand from an article on ghacks.net that the Classic version will be maintained indefinitely even though the new version called Current will also be available.

But can both versions be installed on the same machine and if so, what would the correct procedure be?

Also, if both versions are to be maintained how will the Classic version be updated now that the later version has become available? In that respect the option to update to Current is available via the Help ---> About Waterfox menu tree.

My system is Windows 8.1 fully patched.

Yes. Please see the support area, in particular:

Also, amongst recent issues:

• If Waterfox Current 2019.10 runs first, then Waterfox Classic 2019.10 will not run #1210

@Telmesomething I overlooked Waterfox Profile Manager and about:profiles use cases.

• Waterfox Current (and Firefox Quantum) cause loss of some types of legacy extension when used to open Waterfox Classic profiles · Issue #983
• Backport (Firefox 67) downgrade protection to Waterfox Classic · Issue #1246 · MrAlex94/Waterfox
