Public bug reported:
The Firefox man page documents that -ProfileManager and -P with no
profile specified should both start Firefox with the Profile Manager
dialog. As of a recent release (I'm not exactly sure which one, but has
been since the release of yakkety), this no longer works and both
options simply open a blank window in the running Firefox instance. If
there's no Firefox running, Profile Manager will display as normal, but
this is no different to when Firefox is started without parameters.
Expected behaviour: -ProfileManager or -P without a profile specified
should open the Firefox Profile Manager regardless of whether a Firefox
instance is running.
