I've recently installed Aurora, it seemed to work fine, which is good. I didn't feel like messing with it at the moment, so I closed it, and opened normal Firefox (Version 12.). That worked fine to. Later, however, when I tried to open Aurora, it instead opened Firefox 12.

Sounds that Firefox 12 didn't close properly and is still running.

See "Hang at exit":

Also make sure that you use separate profiles for each Firefox version.
Create a desktop shortcut with -P "profile" appended to the target to launch each Firefox version with its own profile.
