User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051111 Firefox/1.5
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051111 Firefox/1.5

In former release versions of Firefox I was able to open multiple Firefox sessions each with a different profile, either using the -profilemanager or the -P option.  Now after one session is started all subsequent ones open using the same profile, any use of the -P or -profilemanager options on these subsequent sessions is ignored.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.set up two profiles, one which has load images allowed in the preferences one which doesn't
2.open first Firefox session using first profile and go to a web page e.g google
3.open second Firefox session (without closing the first) using the second profile and go to the same web page.

Actual Results:  
Both sessions display the web page the same

Expected Results:  
one session should show the images in the web page, the other not.
Version: unspecified → 1.5 Branch
