Bug 32112 is marked fixed and verified. Bhuvan, is this still necessary?
this is fixed on windows, but not on linux, I am able to launch two apps from two windows with same profile
The real thing that need to happen here is that when the user tries to launch the browser from the second window, the browser should come up and it should use the same profile that the browser launched in first window. Even if there are multiple profiles, profilemanager shuld not come up. The browser should come up using the current profile in use. I doubt if there is any work that profilemanager has to do here. I will nominate this for beta3 and keep thig bug with us for any profile manager work. But we have to make sure that original bug does the right thing on all platforms.

It seems unclear to me whether this bug requires either of a "developer" or "user" release note. If anyone feels it does, can they please draft one and then nominate with the relnote-user or relnote-rtm strings in the Status Whiteboard. Thanks :-) Gerv

Bug 32122 is fixed and we can't bring up 2 instances of mozilla. Hence no multiple instances of profile manager if the same app is run 2 times.

Is this a profile issue? Anybody know where the patch for Windows was applied to keep more than one instance from running?
