Is it possible have accounts in 2 window browsers? I have seller and vendor accounts ant I wanna control both!

I'm not a expert, but to me it would seem that your tor identity would be concurrently linked to your the account you use to sell and the account which you send your address out through. Not cool in my opinion.

It's stored with a cookie, you would need to have a second instance of tor running. This is the reason you can use the "change identity" function on vidalia and still remain logged in even though it changes you're IP address. The cookie should be per browser instance, once you close it completely it autoclears your history, cache, and cookies

You can extract the browser bundle in 2 places and run separate TBB instances. On Windows, for one of the Tor instances, you will have to change the SocksPort and ControlPort in onion icon -> Settings -> Advanced or in ./Data/Tor/torrc. On Linux (and possibly on Mac), the SocksPort is selected randomly each time TBB starts, so you don't have to do that.

I don't see a reason to run two copies of tor. You can run a separate copy of TorBrowser using the "-no-remote" switch on the command line. You will also want to open it with a separate TorBrowser (firefox) profile. I think the command-line switch for that might be "-P" or "-p" or something like that. You can google "firefox command line switches."
