I attach an xfce panel button to the firefox script and find it quite
annoying to keep getting the profile manager when I forget to close
firefox on another desktop.

I've changed the script in devel to act a little differently and would
like other's opinions on the change in behaviour.

Now when I running the firefox script it first checks to see if
firefox is currently running and if so trys to remotely open a new
firefox window with the profile currently running. You can still
specify a different profile by passing the -P <profile> arguments to
firefox and it will ignore trying to remote.

if this doesn't quite make sence here's the run down:
What it used to do:
1) $ firefox (opens a new firefox window with the default profile)
2) $ firefox (opens the profile manager because the default profile is
already in use so it asks to select a different profile)

What it does now:
1) $ firefox (opens a new firefox window with the default profile)
2) $ firefox (opens another firefox window with the current running
default profile)
3) repeat 2 as much as you like new windows will keep poping up with
the default profile
4) $ firefox -P <profile> (opens a firefox window with the profile specified)
