era,
Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to
look at all reported bugs in a timely manner. You reported this bug some
time ago and there have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time.
Your problem may have been fixed with some of the updates.
It would help us a lot if you could test on a currently supported Ubuntu
version. When you test it and it is still an issue, kindly upload the
updated logs by running only once in a terminal:
apport-collect 1214846
and add any additional information that you think relevant.
Alternatively, please confirm that this is no longer a problem and that
we can close the report. If we do not hear from you this bug report will
close itself in approximately 60 days time.
Thank you again for helping make Ubuntu better.

Title:
Restart button starts wrong profile when running multiple
Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
I have two instances of Firefox running with different extensions,
different default window size, different preferences, etc.
I have found that when Firefox requires a restart (such as when the
Ubuntu Firefox package receives an upgrade, or when I have installed
an extension which requires it), the "Restart" button does not work
correctly in the secondary instance. Instead, it will close the
secondary instance, and start a new empty window in the primary
instance.
Steps to repro:
1. Run your regular Firefox
2. Start a second Firefox by running
firefox -ufnord -profileManager &
Create a new profile, populate it with some settings to distinguish it
from your primary instance (window size? web developer tools?
experimental extensions?)
3. Receive an uprade to Firefox, or install an extension which
requires a reboot. For the latter case, I found that e.g.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/hide-tab-bar-with-one-
tab/ does that.
4. When Firefox displays a Restart button at the top of your browser
window, press it
Expected outcome:
The secondary instance closes, then restarts with the same settings
(same profile)
Actual outcome:
A new empty window in the primary instance is spawned.
Workaround:
Run firefox -ufnord -profileManager & again and select the profile you
want.
(The -ufnord is a known bug; I'm too lazy to dig it up, but it's been
there like forever.)
