From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.0rc1) Gecko/20020417 BuildID: 2002041712 Mozilla should check to see if the file being opened is a command line file, if it is, it should execute the command line if possible, or display a dialog box saying that mozilla must be quit before opening the profile manager. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open Mozilla. 2. Double click on the "Mozilla Profile Manager" file in the Finder. Actual Results: A browser window opens with "ARGS:-ProfileManager" rather than the profile manager. Expected Results: The profile manager should have opened.

for now we need to at least make mozilla show a window explaining what the user should do.

This bug seems to call only for a dialog box that explains why Profile Manager can't start up. The ability of Mozilla and Profile Manager to run concurrently is a separate issue. Bug 60299 covers that.
