Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9a8pre) Gecko/2007081305 Minefield/3.0a8pre ID:2007081305

repro:
in Tools->Options->Main set When Minefield starts "how my window and tabs from last time"
start FF with profile manager (e.g. make a new profile)
close FF
start FF with your normal profile
crash on something (e.g. open bug 386584)
in Breakpad say restart

result:
FF restarts with the profile manager

expected:
just restart
I posted this in the Trunk thread and am reposting it here:
I had an interesting experience when I crashed on this page: http://www.paginegialle.it.

After I clicked to send the crash report and restart Minefield, Minefield did indeed restart. However, it did not "remember" that it had been running my "Minefield" profile and instead restarted used my Firefox 2 "Main" profile.

This happened after I had updated to today's second Minefield nightly meaning that Minefield was now set as my default browser, but the profiles.ini file likely still had my Firefox 2 "Main" profile as the default profile. Normally, after I install or update Minefield I will reset Firefox 2 as my default browser, but had yet to do that after my most recent update.

Still, shouldn't I have had Minefield restart with the profile I was running at the time of the crash? Or, should I set Minefield as my default browser as a "work-around" to avoid the restart after a crash from using the incorrect profile?

I'm leery of posting a bug regarding this because of my jury-rigging. I'm on a Win2K system and have placed a copy of a newer version of DbgHelp.dll in the Minefield program folder because of bug #382124.
