It may not have much bearing or relevance on this conversation, but the 
Microsoft Windows version of Firefox does allow one to start multiple 
instances w/o asking for a profile.  The only time I see that box is if I 
have started 2 instances at the same time (or close enough).  I do like the 
fact that I can click on the desktop icon or the menu item w/o having to find 
the Firfox window to start another instance, like I have to do w/SM.
