Firefox Portable multiple instances (net share)

Hi,

i work every day with the same programs on different computers. So i want to copy them on a stick. Everything is well as long I use the programs on one PC. But sometimes I have to use the Firefox on two PCs. So i shared the usb device to network. But if i have already started it one computer it is locked for the other one with the error message "... an instance is already running". Of course is there a an instance running on the other pc, but can I use it anyway?

My first idea was to activate multiple instances, but this is only for one os envoirement.

My second idea is, to duplicate firefox and link them to the same profile. Is that possible or will be there the same problem?

Thanks for any tips.

double up

Install it two or more times on your memory stick in different directories and then run a different instance on each machine. Also, since you're on a network, you could do the same thing to multiple network shared drives/directories like if you have your own personal "home" share on the LAN.
