User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; SunOS sun4v; en-US; rv:1.8.1.7pre) Gecko/20070930 Firefox/2.0.0.8pre

In the firefox startup script, it checks to see if firefox is already running and if so, instead of starting a new firefox, it uses mozilla-xremote-client to create a new window in the existing firefox. Unfortunately, the function used to determine if firefox is already running, check_running does not make sure that the
profiles match. So, instead of a new firefox window with a different profile, you get a new window with the old profile. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start firefox and create a new profile and then exit.
2. Start firefox with the default profile. 
3. Start another firefox with the new profile. 
Actual Results:  
You get only the single firefox running, with two windows.

Expected Results:  
Two firefoxes running, one with each profile.

Sorry, I just discovered that this was a local modification. Never mind.
