Bug 218680: www/firefox: "firefox -P" doesn't work when FF is running
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=218680



--- Description ---
I have 3 Firefox-Profiles (Standart, Tor, ...).

When Firefox is not running, "firefox -P" open a Profil-Menu, and I can select
a profile.

When Firefox is running, and i use "firefox -P", starts a news Firefox with the
Profil is use.

I think the problem I have only since Firefox version 51 or 52. Before that, it
was possible to select an additional profile with "firefox -p", even if Firefox
was running.

I am not sure, is this a FreeBSD - Firefox Problem or a global Firefox Problem.

U use the currently Firfox 53.
