Renaming the binary is not enough: the identifier that matters is
the .desktop file name, but it has to match the WM_CLASS used by
Firefox, which will be the same for the two different versions. So I
don't think there's a correct solution currently.

Ideally, the Shell should be aware of how applications were started
(i.e. from which .desktop file), and be able to keep track of them. For
now, it can only use the WM_CLASS name, and that doesn't differentiate
versions of a program.
