How to run multi browser tests sequentially in Protractor?

For e.g., I have 5 TCs and need to run all the 5 test cases on both Firefox and Chrome. So, once the Chrome finished executing 5 TCs, I need the Firefox browser to initiate and do that same job sequentially.

When I use multiCapabilities, it launches both the Firefox and Chrome at a time.

This has been tested and working fine in protractor Version 5.4.2 and as per Adolfo's answer I added maxSessions: 1, so it runs in sequential mode . In other words, firefox specs get executed first and then chrome . 

exports.config = {
  framework: 'jasmine',
  directConnect: false,


  multiCapabilities: [{
      browserName: 'firefox',
      'moz:firefoxOptions': {
            args: ['--verbose'],
            binary: 'C:/Program Files/Mozilla Firefox/firefox.exe'
       //Need to start cmd via admin mode to avoid permission error
        },
      specs: ['src/com/sam/scriptjs/draganddrop.spec.js']
    }, 
    {
        browserName : 'chrome',
        chromeOptions: {
            args: [ "--start-maximized" ]
                     },
        specs: ['src/com/sam/scriptjs/iframes.spec.js']

    }],
    maxSessions: 1,//To run in sequential mode so first Firefox then chrome 
    //without max session it will open two windows at the same time for both browsers
     seleniumAddress: 'http://localhost:4444/wd/hub'

You can use the maxSessionsvar inside protractor configuration conf.js

  // Maximum number of total browser sessions to run. Tests are queued in
  // sequence if number of browser sessions is limited by this parameter.
  // Use a number less than 1 to denote unlimited. Default is unlimited.
  maxSessions: -1

More info https://github.com/angular/protractor/blob/master/docs/referenceConf.js#L198

Example conf.js (firefox, safari, chrome, chrome device simulators):

multiCapabilities: [
    {
        browserName: 'firefox'
    },
     {
     browserName: 'safari'
     },
    {
        browserName: 'chrome'
    },
    {
        browserName: 'chrome',
        // List of devices https://cs.chromium.org/chromium/src/chrome/test/chromedriver/chrome/mobile_device_list.cc
        'deviceName': 'Google Nexus 5'
    },
    {
        browserName: 'chrome',
        'deviceName': 'Apple iPhone 6'
    },
    {
        browserName: 'chrome',
        'deviceName': 'Apple iPad'
    },
    {
        browserName: 'chrome',
        'deviceName': 'Samsung Galaxy S4'
    }
],
maxSessions: 1
