(Toolkit :: Startup and Profile System, defect)

Description

[James Baker]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040615 Firefox/0.9
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040615 Firefox/0.9

Even when there is another FireFox window open, a -remote command always
returns: "Error: No running window found" on commands such as "./firefox -remote
'ping()'" and "./firefox -remote 'openURL()'".  

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start firefox
2. enter the command: $FIREFOX_DIR/firefox -remote
'openURL('http://www.mozilla.org', new-window)' ($FIREFOX_DIR = directory where
firefox is installed)


Actual Results:  
1. First Firefox window opened.
2. Returned: "Error: No running window found"

Expected Results:  
1. First Firefox window open.
2. Open www.mozilla.org in a new window. 

I am using Suse Linux 9.1 on a P4, using the
firefox-0.9-i686-linux-gtk2+xft-installer.tar.gz download.
