How to fully divide Firefox classic version and Developer edition?
I've allowed to start DE while classic Firefox opened in my settings. I want to run them with different sync e-mail authorized, with different bookmarks, with different history for a different people use them. Is it possible? - I can't find right information about that possibility. Problem is that: 1) They can't work together with any settings (screenshot, trnslt: "FF already run, but doesn't responding. To open new window close it."), but actually it still responds; 2) I can't use one sync e-mail in FF and another one in DE. It changes to last authorization in both. So, what you recommend? Is it even possible to use them like different browsers for different people?

You can have as many versions of Firefox as you want. I have six or seven. HOWEVER: Each version must use its own profile. This is because some things are not compatible.
Each must be started with special options on the command line. For example (all on one line);
C:\PROGRA~1\MOZILL~1\firefox.exe -no-remote -new-instance -new-window -P Firefox_v_57 . https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Command_Line_Options .

That feature is coming in Firefox 67. It may be available right now in the Fx 66 Beta / Developer Edition.

Both Profiles will be separate from one another, and since Sync works at the Profile level different Sync / Firefox Accounts can be used.
