Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/35.0.1916.153 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

Steps
1. Downloaded the version of Nightly that's right for your computer.
2. Followed instructions here to set up multiple versions of Firefox with multiple profiles.
3. Start Nightly with a new profile.
4. Tried running the current release of Firefox and the Nightly version at the same time, with different profiles.


Actual results:

I can launch only one version of Firefox browser. Clicking on the Nightly browser icon (when Firefox browser 30.0 is already running) also open Firefox browser 30.0 another instance.

Also, when Nightly browser window is open and I click on the firefox 30.0 icon it open Nightly browser.


Expected results:

It should have opened both the browser separately.

@deepanshu2017: Your solution given on the mentioned link worked for me. I can open both the browsers side by side. 

However I feel it should have been implicitly setup that way when we install 2 versions of Firefox on system. I believe there are large number of users who will not have knowledge to set thse things up.
