Bug Description
(This used to work on breezy, but doesn't seem to work on the firefox version on dapper)
I have two firefox profiles; the 'default' and a specific profile for Pandora
that I run a separate instance of firefox at the same time in each profile (so that
stalls in general web browsing don't stall Pandora).
I have this setup with the buttons on my panel running either
firefox -P default %u
or
firefox -height 600 -width 800 -P Pandora
But I'm finding that on current dapper the '-P default' is being ignored and I'm getting the Pandora profile.
If I use -ProfileManager and select Default it works fine.

cannot reproduce it here. It works fine for me.
Do you have the problem simply by launching "firefox -P default" in a terminal ?
