XULRunner has been removed from the Mozilla tree: see https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/mozilla.dev.platform/_rFMunG2Bgw for context.
I am closing all the bugs currently in the XULRunner bugzilla component, in preparation for moving this component to the graveyard. If this bug is still valid in a XULRunner-less world, it will need to be moved to a different bugzilla component to be reopened.

Reopening and reassigning on the basis that the file toolkit/xre/nsAppRunner.cpp is still present in Firefox 53, and I am still experiencing the bug on the same. I believe the product and component to be correct, but I don't seem to be able to find a canonical definition anywhere.

Make that in Firefox 52

As with many similar bugs, I'm not sure we should fix this. The complexity of actually getting this right is high, and -profile is primarily for testing purposes where -no-remote is fine.

I know of at least some use in anger.
Do you propose providing an error message and exiting in situations that are known not to work then?

The severity field for this bug is relatively low, S3. However, the bug has 5 See Also bugs.
:mossop, could you consider increasing the bug severity?

The last needinfo from me was triggered in error by recent activity on the bug. I'm clearing the needinfo since this is a very old bug and I don't know if it's still relevant.
