Comment 24 for bug 93546

bug 122698 deals only with start up behavior. This bug deals with the ability to
run multiple programs that all use mozilla, more specifically gecko, as a
rendering engine.

bug 122698 doesn't want to "share" the profile data between apps, it just wants
to check for a currently running version of mozilla and open a window from that
process. The bug aims at allowing two or more processes, like chimera and
phoenix and netscape, to run at the same time on the same profile without
profile corruption, deadlocks, or any other Bad Stuff(tm).

Docs have been posted(or rather links to m.o) to the n.p.m prefs,xpcom,&
embedding as well as posted at
http://www.mozilla/org/projects/embedding/profileSharing/index.html that talk
about the design we are working on for sharing the profile data.
