I suppose with hindsight you could have installed them in appropriate directories with the version number as part of the path, but if the firefox executable has to be in your PATH, try changing your PATH to the required 'inactive' directory and running the same. Does that help?
Alternatively, you might be able to force the command like this:-
Does that help?

I took this responsibility from someone else because we don't think it was being mirrored correctly. Maybe some more details will help. I have a machine that I install updates or new applications and test to ensure it is secure and the software still works. Whenever I have the thumbs up to move it over to the other network, I make a tarball of the not active OS path and untar the overlay of the OS to the new machine on the other network. So that it can be tested with out software.
I know I could just take this over add the overlay of the OS and then do -version however, I have restrictions on what I can and cannot take over there without proper authority. Is there a file that I can look into to see version numbers? I did find compatibility.ini but that only tells me last version compatible.

Thanks,
