From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0rc3) Gecko/20020531 Debian/1.0rc3-2 BuildID: 1.0RC3 I cant run Mozilla on 2 screens at once, I get a box requesting me to select a profile, when I click on my profile it says its in use, I have asked on the #mozilla irc channel about this and was told it was due to file locking, (I have confirmed that if I remove the lock file then I can run mozilla on my second screen) I was told that this was a very bad thing to do >:) What I want to know is why can I run an many instances of mozilla on one (the same) screen as I want even if the lock file is there? surely all instances will need to read and write to prefs, history and cache files. Why does running on a second head cause me a problem? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.find a linux box with dual head display thats not running Xenarama 2.launch mozilla on one screen 3.try to launch mozilla on the second screen Actual Results: you get a box asking you to pick a profile (I choose my profile it says its locked) Expected Results: I would have expected mozilla to just launch on the second screen without prompting for profile selection

You can't run many instances on one screen. You open many windows from the same process (one instance). There is nothing spcial about the second screen.
