Hi Team,

I am trying to write a firefox wrapper which supports 2 managed profile one runs in nomachine physical session and 2nd runs in nomachine virtual session. But when both firefox profiles gets launched , then 1st launch profile new instance or existing instance gives alert that "" another copy of firefox has made changes to profiles. you must restart firefox before making more changes."" while checking about:profile tab.

I am using below command to create managed profile

firefox -CreateProfile "${USER} <Custum Profile Path>" firefox -CreateProfile "${USER}-VIRT <Custom profile path virt>"

and then launching parent instance of firefox using below command

firefox -no-remote -P "${USER}" <Custum Profile Path> firefox -no-remote -P "${USER}-VIRT" <Custom profile path virt>

and then launching new instances using below commands:-- firefox -no-remote -P "${USER}" firefox -no-remote -P "${USER}-VIRT"

I am getting alert "another copy of firefox has made changes to profiles. you must restart firefox before making more changes" when firefox being launched using above method 1st time .

And If I am launching 2nd time, Then all looks good to me.

Please suggest some bash version command . Base OS :-- Ubuntu Jammy 22.04 Firefox version:-- latest
