OSX with two instances of Firefox: how to set the default browser on a specific one?

Hi,

I set Firefox as default browser on the OS, and I'm running two instances of Firefox on OSX, one is on a sockv5 tunnel for work and one is not proxied, for private browsing.

When clicking on links on other applications, say office, I don't get to decide which instance the link opens on. The instance links open on is randomly set after booting my computer and each time I boot it seems getting randomly set.

Is there a way to configure the default instance that links should be opened on?
