Bug Description

Great Ubuntu Linux...

I created number of user profiles in Firefox browser within Ubuntu Linux but the Profile Screen does not come up on First Launch of Firefox. As such I cannot even use any profiles.

Tried to find the created profiles but so far without any success. In Netscape with multiple profiles, Netscape used to popup the profile manager whenever it was launched to select a profile.

Hope someone can help me

The correct command line to start the profile manager appears to be:

firefox -ProfileManager -a something
