Please understand, the problem is not, to run multiple Tor Browsers as  
the same user.
The problem is 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.

To fix this, the upstream script which is installed at  
~/.local/share/torbrowser/tbb/x86_64/tor-browser_de/Browser/start-tor-browser  
has to be changed for each user. The patch is attached.

The patch first searches for free ports and then modifies the config  
files to use the free ports.

I have build a wrapper script for torbrowser-launcher to apply the  
patch, if it isn't already applied.
But I hope it will be fixed by upstream.
