Bug#556258: iceweasel: profile selection and management now broken

Package: iceweasel
Version: 3.5.5-1
Severity: important


I have a couple of profiles, and I used to be able to start IW with either of
them as 'iceweasel -P xxxx'.  Now, while this still works to start a particular
profile when IW is not yet running, whenever a particular IW profile is running
and I try to start the other profile as above, I merely get a new window with
the first profile (blank, without the open tabs of the initial window).  I get
the same thing when I try 'iceweasel -ProfileManager' - this works fine when IW
isn't yet running, but when it is, I don't get the profile manager, but rather
a regular IW window with the running profile.  [Trying to start in safe mode
doesn't help - the same thing occurs.]
