Running Thunderbird “Portable Apps Edition” with multiple instances / Commandline switches seem broken
I'm using the portable apps editions of Thunderbird ( currently it reports 60.4, but I think it appeared also far earlier 5x editions ). I used some time ago running 2 instances with 2 different profiles ( and from completely different file system locations)
I started the thunderbird exe with "-new-instance -no-remote" switches and the profile, which worked already some time until it was broken. So now I get the "There is alreaday an instance running" error. As far as I can see the arguments are correctly forwarded to the thunderbird exe but I have no idea, why this doesn't work anymore.
