Re: just use the default

That works the first time, but then when I launch a second browser
through the button on my toolbar, I have to go through the profile
selector.  If I use -Pdefault to force the default profile, I get an
error message saying I cannot start a second process with the same
profile.  What *should* happen is that it sends a request to the
original running process to launch a new browser window.   It worked
this way in older versions of mozilla (I'm running 1.2b now, used to use
1.0), and it was convenient because you could get new windows by
clicking the mozilla icon in the toolbar.

Thanks for the help,
Jeff
