Works great for starting firefox in a different profile
Authored by: lowbatteries on Aug 12, '08 10:57:37AM

I have two copies of Firefox, one is Firefox 3 that I use daily, the other is Firefox 2 I use for backwards compatibility testing.

It's always a pain to me to have each version use the same profile. Using this hint, I renamed "firefox-bin" to "firefox-bin-default", and created a new firefox-bin:

<code>
#!/bin/bash
exec "${0%/*}/firefox-bin-default" -p "TestProfile"
</code>

You could just leave this at "-p" with no profile specified to bring up the profile selection window.
