I can confirm that I am also experiencing this bug. Firefox 2.0.0.8
under Ubuntu 7.04 behaved as follows.  These two commands would open two
different instances of Firefox, using two different profiles:

firefox -P SomeProfile
firefox -P SomeOtherProfile

However, Firefox 2.0.0.8 under Ubuntu 7.10 behaves in the different,
confusing (broken?) way as described in this bug;  The second command
above would only open a new Firefox window using the profile specified
by the first command.

I use multiple Firefox profiles every day, so I'm 100% sure that this
behavior changed in the upgrade between 7.04 and 7.10. It did not change
in a Firefox upgrade.

The -no-remote trick above works.
