[Bug 152666] new firefox profile doesn't display if default profile is open

[marcw]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox

The summary isn't entirely accurate.  The new FF profile will start and
display correctly if it's the only FF running.  However, if the default
FF profile is already running the new one will not start correctly.
Rather, it starts up the default profile again resulting in 2 identical
FF browsers.

This is on a fresh Gutsy RC install.  This bad behavior does not exist
on Feisty with FF 2.0.0.6.  It doesn't matter if I perform this from
icons or from the command line, I get the same results.  If I have the
default profile open and start the new profile from a command prompt, I
receive no errors or warnings; the wrong profile simply opens.
