Details

Cannot open multiple Profiles, simultaneously, that have the same profile (directory, ending path, I think it is going to be) Name without using the -no-remote switch.

Create two directories:

C:\TMP\SEA\52.9\EVE\23\PROFILE
C:\TMP\SEA\52.9\EVE\24\PROFILE

Use Profile Manager to create entries in profiles.ini pointing to those directories.

profile manager -> create -> name = 23, folder = C:\TMP\SEA\52.9\EVE\23\PROFILE
open profile 23. quit.

profile manager -> create -> name = 24, folder = C:\TMP\SEA\52.9\EVE\24\PROFILE
open profile 24. quit.

Open profile 23.

  • profile 23 opens. expected.

Open profile 24.

Results:

A new window is opened in 23.

Expected (well, as of FF 67):

  • profile 24 opens.

profiles.ini:

[InstallD4D64138A454E275]
Default=C:\TMP\SEA\52.9\EVE\23\PROFILE
Locked=1

[Profile2]
Name=default-nightly
IsRelative=1
Path=Profiles/1msdk4tb.default-nightly

[Profile1]
Name=NIGHTLY
IsRelative=0
Path=C:\TMP\SEA\52.9\NIGHTLY

[Install8A92B18FED63327C]
Default=C:\TMP\SEA\52.9\PROFILE67
Locked=1

[Profile0]
Name=PROFILE67
IsRelative=0
Path=C:\TMP\SEA\52.9\PROFILE67
Default=1

[General]
StartWithLastProfile=0
Version=2

[Profile3]
Name=23
IsRelative=0
Path=C:\TMP\SEA\52.9\EVE\23\PROFILE

[Profile4]
Name=24
IsRelative=0
Path=C:\TMP\SEA\52.9\EVE\24\PROFILE

The same holds true when using --Profile switch.

Create a batch file, GO.BAT & place a copy of into both the \23\ & \24\ directories:

GO.BAT:

firefox.exe -profile PROFILE

Run GO.BAT that is in \23.

Results: the profile in the folder PROFILE in \23\ opens.

Leave that open & running.

Run GO.BAT that is in \24.

Results: a new window in \23\ opens.

Expected (ever since FF 67): the profile in the folder PROFILE in \24\ opens.

I'm running 70.0a1 20190723155748. (Stuck at that, for now, because of other bugs affecting me.)
