It seems that using about:profiles merely launches a new window but NOT
with the selected profile.  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.

President Trump wants all Palestinians to leave Gaza and
relocate elsewhere.  How many will he accept to relocate
in the United States?
