527516 - [win7] Aero Peek "Firefox" submenu item opens version of primary instance

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[u279076]

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2b2) Gecko/20091108 Firefox/3.6b2

I have two instances of Firefox running; 3.6b1 and 3.6b2 (different profiles, -no-remote).  3.6b1 was launched first, then 3.6b2.  If I right click on 3.6b2 on the task bar, I get a submenu item "Mozilla Firefox 3.6 Beta 2".  When I click on this I get a new Firefox 3.6b1 window instead of a Firefox 3.6b2 window.

STR:
1. Start Firefox 3.6b1
2. Start Firefox 3.6b2 -P -no-remote and select a different profile
3. Right click the icon on the task bar for Firefox 3.6 Beta 2
4. Click "Mozilla Firefox 3.6 Beta 2"
5. Click Help > About Mozilla Firefox
6. Check the version of Firefox

Result:
Firefox version for the new window is 3.6b1

Expected:
Firefox version for the new window should be 3.6b2 (or whatever version of Firefox corresponds to the task bar icon clicked)

I think Jim might have a better idea what's going on here. To clarify, you have two fx icons on your taskbar: one for b1, one for b2?

correct.

one on the left is 3.6b1, one on the right is 3.6b2

How did you pin them? sounds like -no-remote isn't in the pinned shortcut.

Comment 4

This is without pinning them.  Is pinning them required?

FYI, I tried to reproduce this today and I'm seeing a different issue:
"Another Firefox process is running but not responding" error when trying to open using the taskbar submenu.  Is this a known issue?

The taskbar code isn't part of shell integration so moving to General since this is regarding browser/components/wintaskbar/WindowsJumpLists.jsm
