Profile manager invokes when opening a mozilla associated document

Details
This was not existing before build 2001092103:
If I have more than one profiles and I double click a document that is
associated with Mozilla (e.g. html), Profile Manager shows up. In previous
builds, Mozilla was always remembering previously used profile and it wasn't
invoking PM.
Note: When running mozilla by "mozilla.exe" command line, PM still doesn't show
up, as it always did. So there is an inconsistency between the two ways of
invoking Mozilla. One of them always uses PM, the other remembers last used
profile (personally I prefer the latter).
Sorry, scrap the inconsistency thing. I was using a "mozilla.exe -p myprofile"
command. Normal invocation via mozilla.exe invokes PM, too. And, if this is a
designed behaviour, my bug is invalid.

From what I've gathered from a few IRC conversations, the proper thing to do if
-turbo is not being used is indeed to launch the profile manager. However, if
-turbo is on, it should remember the profile.
The possibility of automatically using the last profile if a user is opening an
associated document might or might not be something useful to consider. Perhaps
a pref??
Playing devil's advocate, any user who chooses to associate documents with
mozilla is probably going to have -turbo in use as well, so maybe this is pointless.
I'm sure most engineers would prefer to keep it like it is, but can we get an
engineer or 3 to comment?

WONTFIX?

If you're really clever, you can probably hack your Windows registry so that it
passes "-p profile-name". But I don't think we're going to enable that via
other means any time soon.
