9 years ago On Linux the old way to launch wasn't causing issues, but caused an outcry on SO topic: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/28803443/linux-equivalent-of-os-xs-usr-bin-open
I suspect on on mac the old way of opening, was causing issues when focusing the window by PID: http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/151186/focus-most-recent-window-of-pid-without-requiring-accessibility-approval/151422#comment197546_151422

8 years ago Landed somewhere in v3.0a - https://github.com/Noitidart/Profilist/tree/v3.0a
Latest dev build available on AMO, not yet reached production channel - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/profilist/versions/beta
If launch firefox.exe using nsIProcess in linux or mac. (tested on ubuntu 14.04 and mac os x 10.9) the pid of the opener is X. the pid of the opened is Y. if do
lsof | grep "parent"you will see that Y is also on lock file of X. im pretty sure the lock is still only coming from X or Y but for some reason it has access. this may be problematic for the mac os x using popen to focus most recent window technique where i target by windows pid.im sure this doesnt happen on windows because when i was working on enumerating handles and getting the pid's they did not overlap. however its worth another check while keeping the nix/mac thing in mind.
