Not to mention that firefox-bin 89.0.1 as compiled mozilla.com
themselves no longer does that right, it will exit the other
instance in another box with another profile directory even if
both instances start with --no-remote.

Heck, software is a complicated beast.
Has to be said, humans produce so many bugs, i am happy that it is
software that controls american warships, nuclear power plants,
the chemical industry, and so many other important things!
