    haven't run into it myself, but i think i know the cause. the startup
    scripts for moz suite and firefox do a 'ping' (of sorts) to see if there
    is already a copy running and open an new window instead of a new instance
    if there is. this is to prevent profile corruption, i think.

    the problem is that all of the moz products (suite, firefox, and
    thunderbird) respond even if the script is being called for a different
    product. because of this, if you have one running and try to start
    another, it'll open a new window of whatever is currently running.

    gentoo has a pretty good launcher script that's used for all of them that
    looks like it will work well, but haven't actually seen if it fully
    corrects this as i only have firefox installed on that box.
