Marking http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=154875 as a duplicate of
this bug is, IMHO, misleading.

154875 is an issue that's been driving myself and several others I know up the
wall - we were all happily using RC2, without this behaviour, (although AFAIAW
all of us were fortunate never to have profile corruption problems), and
suddenly things have gone pear-shaped.

The reporter of bug 154875 sounds quite upset by it all, and I can see where
s/he is coming from - all my window-manager shortcuts for opening browsers are
now broken without any apparent workaround (since they point to /..../mozilla),
and I have to keep paging through all my virtual desktops to find wherever the
heck the last remaining instance of EITHER a browser window OR EVEN a mail
window is hiding, and then Ctrl-N / Ctrl-1 off that window.

I wouldn't mind at all if someone (anyone?) had proposed a workable workaround,
but for now it seems my only option is to downgrade to RC2, or stop using
Mozilla altogether (if you think this is OTT, then think how much time is wasted
paging through 9 virtual desktops almost every time you want to open a new
browser window!)

HOWEVER, marking 154875 as a duplicate hides this entire problem. I read this
bug report first (135137) and decided it was a different problem. It was only by
noting Robert West's comment (#10), and reading all the dupes that I realised it
was now officially the same bug. (!).
