Details

If you have multiple Firefox channels installed, and you start them via cmdline "-no-remote -P profileName", then the jump list items won't go to the correct expected window.

We should echo some of the command line parameters we were started with so that we open in the correct browser.

Currently if you start with those command line parameters, the first time you click on a recent or frequent item it will open a new browser window.

Also if you start from Aurora with command line parameters, and Firefox release without, and you click on an aurora jump list item, it'll open in the Firefox release window.

Seems like bug 577867 would address this since every install would then have it's own taskbar id based on the install path. There's also an option in those patches to use profile info in the registration.
Thanks Jim.  
I'll wait for that bug before working on this.
This is still happening after bug 577867 landed.
