428583 - profilemanager doesn't start [x64]

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Toolkit :: Startup and Profile System, defect)

Description

[Wolfgang Rosenauer [:wolfiR]]

This is a follow up bug from bug 426141 and bug 391311.
Firefox used to crash at startup before the patches went in for the above bugs.
Now the crashes are gone but it just doesn't happen anything if I try to start Firefox with option -p or -profilemanager.
Also trying to start another instance of Firefox (on the same profile) doesn't result in an error popup about a locked profile but silently does nothing.

Actually I found that I only can reproduce with an x86-64 build.

isn't the design to not start even profile manager when the same program is running, unless you have -no-remote specified?

openSUSE 10.3 or 11.0 (not sure anymore)

Yes, but -no-remote was used IIRC and still there was no profile manager.

I've now tried to reproduce on openSUSE 11.0 with Firefox 3.0.4 and I couldn't.
So this has been fixed somehow.
If others still having issues please let us know.
