You cannot run two different installations of Firefox, i.e. 1.0 and 1.5 simultaneously by default. This may be necessary for testing purposes. I for instance experienced some differences between Firefox 1.0 and 1.5 when styling the legend element.
You’ll find a neat solution to this using batch files here.
Basically, all you need to do is to create a new profile for each additional installation and profile respectively once and then create batch files for starting your Firefoxes with these specific profile names.
