 In version 3.6.3 i was able to launch Tor Browser in following way:
 {TOR_BROWSER_FOLDER}\Browser\firefox.exe -profile
 .\Data\Browser\profile.default\
 This command line is same as "Start Tor Browser.exe" is using, but without
 parameter "-no-remote". In such way i was able execute Tor Browser
 multiple times and each time a new browser window was opened, which was
 very convenient for me.

 But in versions 4.x, especially in 4.0.4 the things changed. Now second
 and further executions of command line
 {TOR_BROWSER_FOLDER}\Browser\firefox.exe -profile
 .\Data\Browser\profile.default\
 result in message box with error "Firefox is already running but not
 responding..."

 So, my question is - how can i in 4.x versions launch Tor Browser multiple
 times and point it to the same profile folder, so new browser window will
 be produced for each launch?
