I never noticed this before since I never use about:profiles. I have PrefBar 7.1.1 installed in SeaMonkey 2.53.20. I created a Profile button for PrefBar that calls toProfileManager();, which launches the SeaMonkey Profile Manager popup. Selecting a different profile in that popup terminates all instances of SeaMonkey and relaunches it in the selected profile. It does not allow me to have multiple SeaMonkey sessions each with a different profile. -- David E.
