4) click on any link from any message from 1-st TB-profile
5) click on any link from any message from 1-st TB-profile
6) click on any link from any message from 2-st TB-profile

Reproducible on the 01/15 Nightly with Thunderbird 17.0.2.

I opened two Thunderbird profiles. All the links from the first one were loaded fine in Nightly.

I got the following message for all the links I tried to open from the second profile: "Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system.".
