Details

STR: (Win7_64, Nightly 43, 32bit, ID 20150913030204, new profile, safe mode) 1. Open Fx window using profile_1 with "-no-remote" 2. Open another Fx window using profile_2 with "-no-remote" 3. Allow remote debugging for these 2 profiles 4. Press Ctrl+Alt+Shift+I in window from Step 1. You'll see confirm window. Click "OK". The browser toolbox will open for that window (which uses profile_1) 5. Press Ctrl+Alt+Shift+I in window from Step 1. You'll see confirm window. Click "OK". Result: Browser toolbox opens for window from Step 1 (which uses profile_1). Actually, the same happens if I try to open toolbox for 2 different versions of browser (running different profiles at the same time, of course) Expectations: Toolbox should open for window from Step 2 (which uses profile_2)
The root cause is that we use a fixed port number for it currently. We'd need to randomize the number on each run or something.
Or we could just fix bug 1013379 by using domain sockets/FIFOs in the profile directory.

That's what the FIFO reference was about. But that's just in theory.
This was fixed by Bug 1392744
