What I meant to say was that Mozilla can't have two or more running 
instances using the same profile (separate profiles drive me nuts... 
yes, lets just duplicate all of my configuration info, so that when I 
feel like changing a setting, I have to do it 2+ times...).

Of course, there are tricks you can do to make it *look* like there are 
multiple instances of mozilla running with the same profile (basically, 
a script that checks if mozilla is already running; if not, launch 
mozilla, if so, tell the running mozilla to simply open a new window). 
That's what I do, because I never want to see the profile manager :)
