Tim, Try the information in Firefox 3.5 - Windows Vista and 7. Alternatively, use the terminal in Windows to go to the folder with Firefox.exe and then run Firefox.exe -profilemanager.

There is no bloody profile manager in Firefox 3.5.5! I have tried every conceivable option and Windows just keeps telling me “Can’t find Firefox”. I have tried “Firefox.exe -p”, “Firefox.exe -profilemanager”; I have tried typing in the complete path to the bloody exe file and it STILL doesn’t know what I’m talking about! When I click OK, all it does it open my homepage! Either this is a Windows problem (in this case Windows 7 64-bit Ultimate), or Firefox. Either way, I can’t access this Profile Manager anywhere. It’s not in Firefox 3.5.5! It’s not even in the Firefox folder!

Nope.

It seems that this is not the problem. The problem is that, apparently the Firefox has a special and internal configuration under Windows (on Linux no problem, because it works very well drag and paste the GMDesk).

So, has a lot on this issue I raised earlier this year, since it is a domestic issue rather than anything else, and we do not solve it easily.

Thank you very much and greetings.

In case anybody else bumps into the same issue, note that you must close any open Firefox windows before launching the profile manager. If you don't, "firefox -p" may just open up a new window with your home page. See the help page on Profile Manager for details.

Santiago Jose Lopez Borrazas,

Interesting. I have no idea why that has changed, and what could cause it.

Hi:

3.5.2 I have this new browser, and Cuá, I just upgraded a while ago.

According to everything I have, from 3.5, with GMDesk, I can not take the links as it had in version 3.0 of Firefox, that it could drag and drop links to Firefox. And it worked wonderfully!

But with this new branch hace3 already taken a little over a month, the thing is no longer the case. If you drag a link from GMDesk because I do not want either to operate or shot. Even using other preferences, or creating a new preference in the same browser.

Now it is no longer the same. No Govt.

I do not know if the problem GMDesk, or rather, a new feature of the new browser, I do not understand why they have to remove that mission they had before.

Greetings.

Absolutely, that’s a good option too. Thanks for the tip!

On Windows, it is easier to use Firefox Portable for older versions than creating multiple profiles/shortcuts.
