What were you trying to do?

Start firefox on another system (a Sun) while it was also running on my linux box.

What's wrong:

It told me Firefox was running in another process, but could not be killed.

What should have happened:

I expected I'd be prompted by the profile manager to use an alternate profile.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:

For all I know, this isn't a bug, but the new "way we do things" with Firefox.
Please advise.
