The current behavior seems very silly. Is it possible at all now to
open a new tab in an arbitrary profile from the command line?
It also contradicts the documentation:
-a application-id
Check for a running Iceweasel started with the specified
application-id. When iceweasel is invoked for the first
time with a particular application-id, a new Iceweasel
application is started; subsequent invocations of
iceweasel with the same application-id will cause the
already-running Iceweasel to bring up a new window.
The default is -a iceweasel.
[...]
-P profile
Start with profile. Implies -a iceweasel--profile, or -a
default if profile is default.
-ProfileManager
Start with profile manager. Implies -a with a fresh
unique application-id.
Please bring the behavior and documentation back in sync.
