Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:67.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/67.0

Steps to reproduce:

I had Firefox running in a particular profile I clicked a link to open a new web page This ran a commandline - firefox url

Actual results:

It opened a new instance of firefox in the default profile

Expected results:

It should have and used to open the url in a new tab of the running instance

I googled some more and found someone who said that installing 66.0.5 and then reinstalling 67.0 worked for him. I tried reinstalling 66.0.5 and was able to open the link on a new tab as I always had. I updated to 67.0 and it went wrong as above again. So this is definitely a bug from version 67.0 :(
