A lot of times on faster machines, it's real easy to double click and then
double click again when trying launch mozilla. 

When this happens, we bring up the profile manager in response to the first
double click. Then if I accidentaly double click a 2nd time, I get a new browser
window to come up while the profile manager is still up!! 

So now I see a profile manager and a navigator window. It's not clear to me
which profile this browser window is using. 

We have code which detects if a mozilla process is running when you re-launch
mozilla so we just throw up a new window instead of having 2 processes running
at the same time. This code needs to somehow also detect that we are blocked
waiting on the profile manager and not throw up a navigator window until the
profile is chosen. 

This bug may ultimately belong to the owners of appshell or bootstrap wherever
the check occurs for multiple instances of mozilla.

What timing that you brought this up right now. I am working on this code
(nsNativeAppSupportWin.cpp) for bug 86021. I incorporated the (extremely simple)
fix for this problem into that. I'll know later today how soon 86021 will be
checked in. If there is a delay with that, I'll clean those mods out and put a
patch here.

But, yes, it is a bootstrap problem and it may only be a problem on Windows.
There is some code getting ready to go in on Mac to prevent two instances from
running but it is just that - it just doesn't run the 2nd instance. The Windows
code is different. The 2nd instance fires a DDE msg to the first telling it to
open a window and then it quits.

What is the status of this bug. It looks like it fell through the cracks

I think it's fixed by some other work I did to nsNativeAppSupportWin.cpp.
Somebody verify please.

I was able to reproduce with mozilla nightly 2001103003
Clicked on mozilla icon and brought up profile manager, chose profile1 and 
launched
Clicked on mozilla icon again (browser window for first launch opened), chose 
profile2 for this instance and second browser window came up
each browser window has their own set of  bookmarks

The good news is I cannot open two mail instances- mail seems to be part of 
first profile opened. 

(did with both turbo on and turbo off - don't think turbo is part of this issue)

This seems to have been fixed along with bug 108089. Using a debug build so I
can see the console window when the app is double-clicked, I clicked 4 times.
The 2nd console window opened and immediately closed. No 2nd instance launched.
I also double-clicked, waited until profile picker came up, and double-clicked
again. Also, no 2nd instance launched.
