Uh huh. See:

"What unique predictions does many-worlds make?"

"Could we detect other Everett-worlds?"

"Many worlds is often referred to as a theory, rather than just an interpretation, by those who propose that many worlds can make testable predictions (such as David Deutsch) or is falsifiable (such as Everett)"

OK, thanks. I see that many-worlds could be falsifiable, if the many-worlds interact (or interfere). I really didn't know that was on the table.
