Okay, fine. Is there at least a workaround for those few of us who would like this behaviour?

Each profile has its own configuration, set of bookmarks and add-ons (or lack thereof). I use each one in a different way. I created a launcher for each profile which I have on the Unity bar. Each launcher has a unique name and icon, and I can and do run mulitple profiles at the same time using the --no-remote switch Up until a recent update (Jun 12), I could launch an instance and the launcher would own that profile window. I could access the window from any desktop by hitting that particular launcher icon. Now, however, the main Firefox launcher takes ownership of all Firefox windows regardless of profile and I can't zip quickly between profiles. I understand that making Firefox blind to windows on other desktop can be a desired feature, however, I would like to retain that ability-- at least be able to capture and own an instance with a separate launcher. An example of my launcher code: [Desktop Entry] Version=1.0 Type=Application Terminal=false Icon[en_US]=/home/dngrsone/.icons/Daily.gif Name[en_US]=Daily Exec=firefox -no-remote -P Daily Name=Daily Icon=/home/dngrsone/.icons/Daily.gif To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/1031192/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
