From Bugzilla Helper:

Preferences->Appearance->When Mozilla starts up, open...
If you set Navigator and Mail here, when using "-P profilename" from command
line, such preference is ignored. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Make two profiles
2.Set "Navigator" and "Mails and Newsgroups" in Preferences/Appearance/"When
Mozilla starts up, open" dialog in one of them.
3.Start Mozilla using "-P profilename", using the profile where you set such
preferences.

Actual Results:  Only Navigator is shown.

Expected Results:  Navigator and Mail should have appeared instead.

If you start Mozilla without "-P profilename", and choose your profile using the
profile window, then you don't have such problem.
changing component to profile manager backend
