I'm using KDE 3.5, FreeBSD 6.0, Xorg 6.9.0 and Firefox 1.5. I've created an application starter on the menubar that has the path to firefox (/usr/X11R6/bin/firefox) with the argument -ProfileManager. The first time I start Firefox, the profile manager pops up and prompts me to select a profile. All subsequent launches of Firefox use the profile that I selected initially. I want Firefox to prompt me *every* time it starts, because I have created several profiles, each designed to do different tasks and be open in different windows. Each profile uses tabbed Homes so I can start a number of tabs with different tasks in them. I've edited profile.ini as follows: StartWithLastProfile=0 and StartWithLastProfile=1 Neither setting makes any difference at all. Checking and unchecking the box to start on startup *also* does nothing. (As does the prompt to make firefox the default browser.) I even tried removing StartWithLastProfile entirely. *Nothing* works. There's no man pages for firefox, firefox-bin, profile.ini, profilemanager, mozilla or mozilla-bin, and googling has been futile so far.
