 ====
 The problem is not, to run multiple Tor Browsers as the same user,
 but to run multiple Tor Browsers, each from a different user at the
 same time on the same machine.

 After investigation I found, that this is because of a fixed SOCKSPORT
 and and fixed CONTROLPORT.
 But each user needs his own SOCKSPORT and CONTROLPORT.
