How to have two Firefox in the same machine?
I have Firefox installed from the repo (Namoroka), but I also want to have another version to use exclusively with Tor.
Downloading it from Mozilla's official website and running the executable doesn't work because it opens Namoroka. How should it be done?

not really what you asked for - just in case you have not done so already, check out TorButton

I think that's impossible. The two firefoxes conflict each other.

You can create a 2nd profile with: firefox -ProfileManager (you have to close all firefox instances to do that)
Then, you can start a 2nd firefox with the new profile: firefox -P <profilename> -no-remote

Would it be possible to compile the second firefox with all libraries built in, change the executible name run it from a different folder? You could possibly make PKGBUILD for it so pacman is aware of it.
