149657 - When mozilla is already running and the mozilla script is used the Profile Manager launches

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(SeaMonkey :: Startup & Profiles, defect)

Description

[Andy Wang]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.0) Gecko/20020529
BuildID:    2002052918

If mozilla is already running and the mozilla script is launched to try to get a
new window, the Profile Manager pops up instead.  I only have one profile and if
I attempt to select that in the Profile Manager it tells me the profile is in
use.  This does not happen on Windows.  This was introduced in 1.0RC3.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Launch a new instance of mozilla
2.Attempt to launch another window using the mozilla script from a command line
or icon in gnome/kde/whatever


Actual Results:  See Profile Manager window pop up.

Expected Results:  Should have launched a new browser window.

This is intentional behaviour. Previously you were running the risk
of destroying all your prefs by running two mozillas.

use x-remote instead (install the rpm or start like :

mozilla -remote openURL(myurl)

)
