1121303 - Restart from Crash Recovery ignores original command line

Status: UNCONFIRMED

(Toolkit :: Crash Reporting, defect)

Description

[Terrell Kelley]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:35.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/35.0
Build ID: 20150108202552

Steps to reproduce:

Open Firefox with a different profile on the command line (using -profile [and -no-remote if a copy of Firefox is already running])
Do something that makes Firefox crash.
Choose to restart Firefox


Actual results:

Firefox starts with the default profile, or if the default profile is already running, pulls up an error about how Firefox is already running (ignoring -no-remote).


Expected results:

Firefox should restart with the profile from the command line, as well as honoring all other command line options.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

This is not a problem when you explicitly restart Firefox, like after installing a non-restartless extension. It's only a problem when restarted from Crash Recovery. There's got to be a way to leave a file for Crash Recovery to see and restart with the proper options.

And, after submitting that, I can no longer get this to be consistent. So test it multiple times to figure out what in the world is going on. I'm guessing something isn't being written.
