372397 - Firefox cannot be launched from other applications if using profile manager

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 395891

(Firefox :: Shell Integration, defect)

Description

[Masayuki Nakano [:masayuki] (he/him)(JST, +0900)]

I tested only on trunk. (2007030204-trunk/WinXP)

1. Set the default setting as the profile manager shows up at booting.
2. Set Fx to the system default browser.
3. Shutdown the Fx.
4. Double click a html file in the Explorer or Click the URL in Tb.

The profile manager doesn't show up. But the process is existing. Therefore, I cannot Fx until killing the zombie process.

If I don't use the profile manager, Fx is booted up normally at 4. And I cannot reproduce this bug with booting from commandline.
# e.g., "firefox -url test.html"

And if the Fx already exists, it works fine.

is the cause bug 370123?

This is most likely caused by bug 370123. Also, this works on the branch
