Hi I really need to be able to run two instances of firefox portable, one that is an older version of firefox which I can skin to look like internet explorer, and another that is the latest version which is demand to view some websites.
If I make a copy of the portable and and try and run it again is say one instance is already running.
I have tried renaming .exe's etc to no avail, it still says it is already running with the first instance.
Can anyone advise if its possible to get two instances running and how I might do it.

If you want to do it with two copies of the same version of Firefox Portable, the easiest way is by following the instructions found here.
Otherwise running two separate instances of the same app, even different versions, will usually break portability.
thanks sorted it
