I want to have two distinct versions of Mozilla on my computer. I did this with Eudora and it worked beautifully. I'd like two separate icons that open to two different accounts. I have multiple email addresses for two very different businesses. While it is clearly possible, It gets to be too much to have everything in one place.

I tried installing Mozilla a second time and simply changed the name of the folder where I was installing the program. I get a second icon, but it opens the same instance of Mozilla. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This add-on allows you to use two or more profiles with Thunderbird, but you can only have one instance of the program running at a single time SO you can have Thunderbird with profile one or Thunderbird with profile two. Not two Thunderbirds.
