I would suggest closing this long and meandering bug and instead opening a few new ones:

  1. please document the '-a' and '-no-remote' options in firefox --help
  2. please document that '-P' and '-ProfileManager' are ignored when firefox with the given application ID is already running
  3. please make 'firefox -a someappid url' successfully communicate with an already running firefox instance instead of showing an error

and perhaps, for better user friendliness

  4. please make 'firefox -ProfileManager' always open the profile manager (i.e. treat it as if -no-remote was implicitly requested)
  5. please make 'firefox -P profilename' open a browser window using that profile (e.g. treat it as if -a profilename was also specified)

Sounds good?
