Hi Paul, it's working here as expected - "Don't ask at startup" box changes StartWithLastProfile to 0/1 and ProfileManager starts every time if set to 0. I'm using it ever since I installed Firefox 2.0a in addition to 1.5. The machine is running FreeBSD 6-STABLE, Firefox 1.5 and 2.0a, Enlightenment DR17 but I doubt it's related. Maybe you're editing the wrong file? Or while Firefox is running? Too tight file permissions? Just some thoughts. Here's mine profiles.ini: --------------------- $ ls -l ~/.mozilla/firefox/profiles.ini -rw-r--r-- 1 karol karol 216 Apr 3 18:01 /home/karol/.mozilla/firefox/profiles.ini $ cat ~/.mozilla/firefox/profiles.ini [General] StartWithLastProfile=0 [Profile0] Name=1.5 IsRelative=1 Path=xxxxxxxx.1.5 [Profile1] Name=temp IsRelative=1 Path=xxxxxxxx.temp [Profile2] Name=2.0-alpha1 IsRelative=1 Path=xxxxxxxx.2.0-alpha1 Default=1 --------------------- HTH, Karol -- Karol Kwiatkowski <freebsd at orchid dot homeunix dot org> OpenPGP: http://www.orchid.homeunix.org/carlos/gpg/0x06E09309.asc [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.3 (FreeBSD) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFEMUktezeoPAwGIYsRAiJbAJ9SkViHwlB58apFU32/RfqFV/KZrQCfaTQF d3bInMGYYdKYdJJl1edLR1Y= =Pakk -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
