Correct behavior is to use the current profile, and open a new window with the new URL. This is especially troublesome when firefox is specified as the preferred browser in the Gnome "Preferred Applications" dialog, and one clicks on a URL in a Gnome application while firefox is already running. >How-To-Repeat: % firefox http://some_site & (wait for firefox to start) % firefox http://some_other_site & (profile-select/create dialog appears, instead of new window) >Fix: The real cause of the problem is not known, but a workaround patch to /usr/X11R6/lib/firefox/bin/firefox follows:
