Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:54.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/54.0
Build ID: 20170612122310

Steps to reproduce:

using Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS
Firefox 54.0
My Firefox is configured so it shows profilemanager window on startup if no profile is specified.
I got two profiles (one always usin socks proxy and the second only on demand)
I launch both of 'em at startup (via script like : 
firefox -P defaultFire & 
firefox -P socksFire &)

What I did :
In one of the two (both are opened currently) do an operation which need to restart the firefox instance (for exemple add a module which requires restart)


Actual results:

The instance which need restart will shutdown.
The other firefox instance (ie the other profile : the one which is still open) will open a new window (ie a new tab as i use TabMixPlus extension in single window mode)


Expected results:

The instance which needed restart should have restart instead of just shutting down.
The other instance (ie the other profile) should have stayed quiet instead of opening a new window (a new tab in my case cause of tabMixPlus)
