Package: iceweasel
Version: 31.3.0esr-1
Followup-For: Bug #366129

This issue seems to persist in Iceweasel 31.  I run the following steps in
order:

 0. Open Iceweasel with profile Foo.  Keep it open.
 1. iceweasel -P Bar http://example.com
    -> Opens example.com in Foo window, bad!
 2. iceweasel -P Bar -new-instance http://example.com
    -> Opens example.com in new Bar window, ok.  Keep it open.
 3. iceweasel -P Bar http://example.com
    -> Opens example.com in Foo window, bad!
 4. iceweasel -P Bar (-new-instace|-no-remote) http://example.com
    -> "Iceweasel is already running, but not responding." error.

I think this behaviour is a manifestation of this same bug.
Since https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=643418 and
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=486172 do not seem to make
progress in fixing this, I support Nathaniel in applying his patch so that new
windows/tabs can actually be opened in different running profiles.

Thanks!
