Mike - thank you; thank you; thank you. Once upon a time I __was__ running two versions SIMULTANEOUSLY like that (I think they were 0.9.4 and 0.9.6). I wanted to compare how they rendered the same page -- I had each in its own virtual desktop, and was going back and forth. But then somebody put in some sort of a shared semaphore -- then the second mozilla that I tried to start merely caused the ALREADY RUNNING mozilla to open another window (i.e., starting the second mozilla no longer opened a window that was "native" to the version/build of the second mozilla). [If I remember correctly, I posted about this and got the response "that's the way it is".] Now you have here told me how to again run two different mozilla builds at the same time -- I just tried it and it works; it works! mikus (a 'User's Guide' would be really useful)
