I have installed latest versions of Mozilla software for OS/2: Firefox
3.5.2 and Thunderbird 2.0.0.23. Each of these programs are running
separately, but not at the same time. Why?

There's a DLL conflict when running different versions of TB / FF
(i.e. not the same level). You can use Rich Walsh's excellent program
Run!.exe to solve this issue.

Search for info on group's archive.

The eCS 2.0RCs come with FF / TB preinstalled, and firefox uses a
modified run!.exe (firefox!.exe). Copying firefox!.exe into FF 3.x
directory should solve the issue (I remember doing so allowed me to
run FF 3.0 and TB 2 on my laptop).

Sorry if I'm not too clear.

To get incompatible versions to run simultaneously, you'd need to
add the 'L' option to Run!, e.g. thunderbird!L.exe

Thank you, run! helped and the problem is solved.
