Is there an obvious way to tailor Firefox such that it is glaringly
obvious whether I'm running 10.0.4 ESR and/or 12.0 (I may have both of
them open)
An ideal solution for me would be if I could insert "ESR" after the
"Firefox" in the Firefox button at the top left.
I'll admit that there are significant differences between the two, but
none of them shout at me "This is ESR" or "This is 12.0"
I'm happy with straightforward registry tweaks, if that's what it
takes.

I would probably use different themes for each instance.

Spectacular! Thank you!
Not only does it work perfectly (and my suggestions rarely get
implemented) but this satisfying victory helped to lift me out of the
depression that's descended on me these past few days.
I have to admit that getting the 3D enabled on my 3D TV was the major
contributor. I sat my missus down with the glasses, and the 3D BluRay
"Pirates of the Caribbean - On Stranger Tides" and had a very peaceful
evening. :-D

Do themes have the ability to alter the behaviour of Firefox? I've
seen recommendations to use the default theme when some features were
missing. This may have been for a browser other than Firefox though.
