Hi,
I’m not able to launch the Firefox’s Profile Manager: when I launch
firefox -ProfileManager
the prompt comes back after some instant and the Profile Manager doesn’t open.
Where should I look at to check for errors? Is there any log to be verified?
Configuration is:
Firefox 3.0.5 on OpenSuse 10.3 with KDE 3.5
Is there any workaround to add a new profile without Profile Manager?
Thank you,
faina
Hey, I have the same problem in 11.0 with FF 3.0.10. Did you find a solution for this?

I don’t see the problem with 3.0.9 under 11.0 or 11.1
you can manually add profile by creating a new directory at:
/home/youruser/.mozilla/firefox
then add entry in profiles.ini pointing to the new created profile directory
Content of /home/youruser/.mozilla/firefox/profiles.ini
[General]
StartWithLastProfile=0
[Profile0]
Name=default
IsRelative=1
Path=j6y8ncbn.default
Default=1
[Profile1]
Name=newprofile
IsRelative=1
Path=NewDirectoryName
finally, you can launch the new profile with:
firefox -P newprofile
FYI, my 3.0.10 FF is running just fine, there’s no problem with the profile manager, maybe you should try to upgrade to the latest version, if it still fails
Goodluck!
If you have another Firefox window already open, then all that does is start up a new window of the running firefox. What you should do is shutdown all existing windows of Firefox, then run firefox -ProfileManager
