Can I have two instances of Firefox running in the same user area of my imac
Rather than have two different users on my imac I would like to have two instances of Firefox on my personal user area. One for business and one for personal. I was able to do this with Thunderbird and it works great.
Is there a way to have two different Firefox browsers in one user partition?
Thank you!

Installing multiple versions on Mac OS X is basically dragging the Firefox application out of the DMG file to the desktop and rename the folder. You can drag the renamed Firefox application folder to the Applications folder like you would normally install Firefox.
You need to use the terminal to create a new profile for that version.
Make sure that no profile is selected as the default to make the Profile Manager show when you start Firefox. You can check that in the profiles.ini file.
