[Bug 229402] [NEW] ff3 can't open a second browser from command line

[Benson Margulies]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

I launch firefox with -P default -a default.

Then I run the same command line a second time.

I get a popup claiming that firefox is running and not responding.

It should bring up a new window in the instance.

If I instead try -P default -a firefox, I don't get the right profile,
though I do get the right results when I run it more than once.
