(Toolkit :: Startup and Profile System, defect)

Description

[Erwan David]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040608 Firefox/0.8.0+
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040608 Firefox/0.8.0+

I use following script for launching firefox:
#!/bin/sh
export PATH=${HOME}/firefox/firefox:$PATH
firefox=${HOME}/firefox/firefox/firefox
if ($firefox -remote 'ping()' >/dev/null);then
    if [ $# -eq 0 ] ;then
        $firefox -remote "xfeDoCommand(openBrowser)"
    else
        $firefox -remote "openURL($1,new-window)"
        shift
        while [ $# -gt 0 ] ;do
            $firefox -remote "openURL($1,new-tab)"
        done
    fi
else
    $firefox $@
fi

It worked perfectly, except for 0.9rc and latest-0.9 nightlies.
every firefox -remote command gets a "Error: No running window found" and result
code 2.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. execute a firefox -remote command
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
get the profile selection window with message that another firefox is running

Expected Results:  
ping() should have had a 0 return code, 
xfeDoCommand(openBrowser) should have openend a new window
openURL($1,new-window) should have opend the URL in a new window and
openURL($1,new-tab) should have opened the URL in new tab.

No theme.
