The problem is that you can't share a profile between 2 different instances of Firefox. Either you need to use 2 different users, or each user needs to use it's own profile. You can start firefox for instance like this :

./firefox -P first &
./firefox -P second

You can create additional profiles like this :
./firefox -profilemanager

Try using the "-no-remote" command line option, or setting an environment variable "MOZ_NO_REMOTE" to "1". If that helps, please close this bug as INVALID.
