I prefer the second, of course.

I found a solution to this problem, after finding your post when googling about it.

Here is the place, where I found the information:

http://blog.dojotoolkit.org/2005/12/01/running-multiple-versions-of-firefox-side-by-side

And my solution under linux (i use gentoo here) is to start firefox this way:

MOZ_NO_REMOTE=1 firefox -P Profile

This way the environment variable MOZ_NO_REMOTE is only set for one instance of firefox.

This also works when I try to open a link from Thunderbird. It is opened in the first instance of firefox that I start this way. Exactly like the behaviour in 1.0.x

I hope this also works for you,
Robert

I used multiple profiles quite a bit, and I can't anymore since I upgraded. Did you find a solution?</p> Hi, I find myself in the same predicament.
