153676 - must use separate profile for every browser window opened if lauched from mozilla script.

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 122698

(SeaMonkey :: Startup & Profiles, defect)

Description

[Nate S]

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

running Redhat 7.3 logged in as root on KDE 3.

If I execute /usr/local/mozilla/mozilla when I have Mozilla opened already, it
brings up the profile manager.  If I select the profile that I am currently
using a message comes up saying "Mozilla cannot use the profile "*****" because
it is in use. Please choose another profile or create a new one."

It would be nice to continue to operate under the same profile.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.launch Mozilla from /usr/local/mozilla/mozilla
2.try to launch another Mozilla window using the same script.


Actual Results:  launches profile creation process

Expected Results:  open another mozilla browser session to the specified home page.
