1866915 - Extra messenger.xhtml opens when Thunderbird opens with the --devtools flag

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[Geoff Lankow (:darktrojan)]

(Can't type, hit enter while writing the bug title.)

If you start Thunderbird with the --devtools flag, it opens another Thunderbird process with a different profile and opens the Developer Toolbox. This process must not open any Thunderbird UI as that will (a) be super confusing and (b) be connected to the wrong profile.

Since we want to uplift Bug 1800423, this regression fix also needs to be uplifted.
