Bug#848270: iceweasel: When iceweasel restarts it forgets the active profile

Package: iceweasel
Version: 45.5.0esr-1
Severity: normal


If iceweasel is restarted due to e.g. an update, a setting change that
requires a restart, or installation of a new plugin, it doesn't start
the correct profile.  That is, an iceweasel window using my slack
profile, when it restarts, may start a calendar profile or a default
profile, etc.

I have several profiles which I use to separate different kinds of
tasks.  I've not yet figured out the details of which profile ends up
being selected, but I have yet to see iceweasel restart the _correct_
profile.
