Builder nightly knows how to append "--standalone". Stable does not.

You can't just start two instances of an application for a single user 
and expect things to work correctly. Applications need to be written to 
be aware of each other so they don't clobber temp/cache files and such.

Very few if any applications are written this way. Even firefox just 
punts and says you have to specify an alternate profile to keep things 
contextualized.
