[Bug 31746] Re: Impossible to use multiple profiles at the same time

[Marco Fabbri]

The bug currently (on 8.04) afflicts firefox (i.e. firefox 3 beta) and
firefox-2 (i.e. firefox 2.0.0.14).

Step to reproduce the bug:
1. close every firefox instance
2. open firefox using a specific a profile, Run Command "firefox -P" select a profile
3. open firefox using a different a profile, Run Command "firefox -P"

Expected Behaviour:
At this point you should be presented with the same dialog at point 2, instead a new firefox window gets opened running on the same profile selected at 2 (i.e. a different window of the same firefox process started at 2).

Variations:
The same is true for every combination of the commands firefox firefox-2 run at points 2 and 3; i.e. if you run "firefox -P" and then "firefox-2 -P" you end up with two windows of firefox 3 running the profile selected after entering the command "firefox -P".

Workarounds:
Adding the "-no-remote" option to every firefox startup command ran after point 2; i.e. "firefox -P -no-remote".
The "-a" option it is no more working.
