Running firefox.exe with parameter -no-remote used to open a new instance. Since a couple of updates back this is no longer the case. When I run firefox.exe -no-remote now only a new window within the same instance opens. Is it a bug or am I doing something wrong? How can I open a new instance?

I have fixed it by adding -profilemanager parameter: firefox.exe -no-remote -profilemanager
