That's still an issue, unsure if that's by design though, they are the
same application...

Title:
  firefox profile launched from second launcher combines with first

Status in Unity:

Status in unity package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  I have created a second launcher for firefox (for launching an
  alternate profile) and pinned it to the unity bar.  I also modified
  the original slightly so that I can run both profiles at once.  The
  two launchers run the following commands:

  firefox %u -P default -no-remote
  firefox -P Bjorn -no-remote

  up until a recent update (I think in the last week, but I'm not sure),
  this worked great; each launcher worked independant of the other,
  launching the intended instance if it wasn't already running, and
  switching to it if it was.  Now suddenly when I click the second one
  (Bjorn profile), it launches the correct instance, but the small arrow
  that's normally to the left of the launcher indicating an open
  window/running instance is instead shown next to the first launcher
  (for the default profile).

  This is rather inconvenient as if the default profile instance isn't
  already running, I can no longer use that launcher to launch it
  because it simply activates/focuses the already open window from the
  second profile.  As a workaround I currently always launch the default
  profile first, and then the other (so I now have two arrows to the
  left of the default launcher - as illustrated in the attached
  screenshot), but it's still inconvenient because it's now two clicks
  to switch; click on the default launcher and then choose the window I
  want.  Clicking on the second launcher just informs me that "Firefox
  is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you
  must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your
  system."

  The expected behavior, I believe, is that a launched application
  should always get associated with the launcher it was started from (as
  it used to).
