You can provide multiple browser versions using the switch -browser. For example if your remote system has multiple versions of firefox that you want to use then you could specify them like this,

-browser browserName=firefox,version=3.6,firefox_binary=/home/myhomedir/firefox36/firefox,maxInstances=3,platform=LINUX -browser browserName=firefox,version=4,firefox_binary=/home/myhomedir/firefox4/firefox,maxInstances=4,platform=LINUX
