149080 - Profile manager comes up instead of brower window from Open Office with Mozilla already started.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 122698

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[PJ Welsh]

Profile manager comes up instead of brower window from Open Office with Mozilla
already started in Linux version. This has happened since after Mozilla version
2002051709 tar sea install on RedHat 7.1 and 7.3 till atlease 2002060404 tar sea
install. The expected result of a new window appears with the 2002051709 tar sea
version. 

To replicate, have Open Office (I suspect other prg's would work also) open with
a document having a hyperlink. Make sure to have OO set up with the "External
Programs" HTTP pointing to your mozilla path and file. You may need to
explicitly set the MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME in your mozilla startup file. Click on your
link. If you already have Mozilla open, you will get the profile manager instead
of a browser window. If you do not have Mozilla open, you will get the browser
window. If you click the link again, you will get the profile manager instead of
a browser window. 

Another odd behavior that may be related is that atleast with the 2002051709 and
2002051209 versions, the new windows are separate instances of mozilla. That is
if I File -> Quit from the browser window that got opened by OO, not all of the
browser windows close, just the one started by the click on the link.

You, you get a second instance but a second instance can cause profile corruption.
You get the profile manager because you should select a different profile.
