User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030507 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030507 I used the Tools -> Switch Profile... command to switch between profiles. I noticed that after switching, the address book on the profile I had switched to was actually the address book of the profile I had switched from. Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. Log in to a Mozilla profile ("profile A"). 2. Click Tools -> Switch Profile... and change to a different profile ("profile B"). Actual Results: The address book of profile B is identical to profile A's address book. Expected Results: Displayed the profile B address book instead of apparently overwriting it.
I also noticed that the notification of new mail (located in the taskbar) said that the account on "Profile A" had a new mail message even after I had switched to "Profile B".
Steps in detail: Assume there are two profiles, "Profile A" and "Profile B". Open Mozilla Mail logged in to Profile A. Click Tools -> Switch Profile and go to Profile B. Click Tools -> Switch Profile on Profile B and return to Profile A. The address book in Profile A now is identical to the Profile B address book.
