User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; WOW64; rv:39.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/39.0 Build ID: 20150601171003 Steps to reproduce: I am writing an addon based on this: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/restore-remote/ Goal is to enable new command line parameters to profiles like -restart. And in general targeting profile with `-remote -P "profile_name"` doesnt seem to work. Is it possible to land this with an addon? I need info Mike Hommney the author of this addon: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/restore-remote/ If its possible can you please let me know so I can pursue it. The code in this addon doesnt make much sense to me yet. But please let me know about if its possible for me to make -remote work with -P targetting and landing it via addon

You can't talk with a -no-remote instance. What you probably want is to use -new-instance instead of -no-remote.
