Comment:

 In my experience, you can run as many copies of Tor Browser as you like as
 long as:
 1. Each browser uses a separate profile. The easiest way to make sure that
 is the case is to not install in /Applications; instead put each browser
 in its own folder so each will have its own TorBrowser-Data directory.
 2. Each browser is configured with different SOCKS and control ports, or
 is using UNIX domain sockets.

 Have you met those conditions? Or maybe you want the different "flavors"
 of Tor Browser to use different profiles by default? I know Firefox does
 that automatically for Developer Edition; I am not sure about the Firefox
 Nightly or ESR (I don't think so).
