The profiles are listed in registry.dat, and profiles and registry.dat are updated when you close mozilla. So if two instances of Mozilla open registry.dat, modify it, and write it back, the last one closed wins. some documentation about registry.dat, an editor, and profile-sharing: http://www.geocities.com/stolenclover/backstage/moz-temp/registry.html http://www.alain.knaff.lu/~aknaff/howto/MozillaCustomization/cgi/readMoz.cgi http://www.mozilla.org/projects/embedding/profileSharing/ The bug I would this bug dupe to: Bug 76431 Profiles need to be protected from running multiple instances of mozilla But that wouldn´t prevent you running Netscape7 and Mozilla sametime, and doing this, your problem is reproducable, as Netscape7 and Mozilla use one and the same file registry.dat Bug 186160 registry.dat written to default path instead of specified profile path Another way to lose profile data, though I don´t know if this bug is fixed know by roaming. Bug 139562 profile settings gets lost after mozilla close- profiles stored on network drives Bug 151000 profiles disappear from the profile manager if you lost a profile, but it is still on disk, you can restore it, see Bug 151000 Comment #21 and Bug 151000 Comment #22
