I guess the main issue here is this: it's unclear how someone could use
multiple Firefox profiles.
'man firefox' says there's no man page. 'firefox -h' lists '-P
profilename' and -'ProfileManager' options, but if you try to use them
when you already have a Firefox window open (and who doesn't hav
i did reopen because i see adding the "magic -a switch" merely as a
workaround and not as a fix;
however, i just found a manpage for firefox[1] at
http://pwet.fr/man/linux/commandes/firefox and it reads:
-a application-id
Check for a running Firefox started with the specified application-id.
It's normally better to mark as incomplete instead of new when reopening
bugs as this aids us in tracking the bug.

RU sure? Because NOT true for me. I can run (by workaround - see above&below,

did you try to run from CLI:

could this be reopened as a wishlist priority bug?

A workaround is still to use -a along with -P:

Just make sure that the id in : -a is unique for each profile.

This bug is back in Gutsy: when you have an open Firefox window, firefox
ignores -P profilename and -ProfileManager command-line arguments and
always opens a new window of your existing Firefox instance. A
workaround is to also add -no-remote (or -a something) to the command
line.
