Bug Description

Binary package hint: unity

I use multiple firefox profiles, so I start firefox with firefox --no-remote. Since its not possible to add this command to the unity bar I use alt+f2 and then run that command.

I use this command every day, multiple times a day. But somehow unity cannot remember this command between reboots, which means I have to type it again and again.

I'm not quite sure how to trigger this, the window does show many other command, even those I haven't used in ages. One of those is " firefox -P profile --no-remote", which apparently does not trigger the same bug in unity.

If there is anything I can do to help clear this up, please let me know.

thanks for your bug report. Can you please confirm if thats still an issue for you in Ubuntu 11.10 I don't seem to face the issue here with the general case.. i..e 'unity --reset' is already showing in the alt-f2 history.
