I recently posted a question about switching profiled med-session. In the Mozilla browser, I can (I just tested it) click on [Tools]->[Switch Profile]. Why was that feature removed from FireFox? Perhaps it was merely masked; is there an about:config setting that would enable such a feature? I find nothing filtering the about:config screen for the word “profile”.

Clues?

@Blizz

To set firefox to open external links, take a look here:
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Open.....er_profile

Here’s what it says:
“Important: Never use -no-remote to start the “default” profile (the one that is set to open without asking when you launch Firefox). That’s because when you launch Firefox, for example, by clicking a link in your mail program, you will get a “Firefox is already running but is not responding” message if the default profile is already in use. The solution is to always start the default profile normally and launch all others with -no-remote. Then it will work.”

I ran into some problem when setting up my profiles.

I created two profiles but deleted the “default” profile.
They were both working but weblinks didn’t work anymore from any application. And I could not directly click a few filetypes like .html for instance because it gave me the “windows cannot find …” error message.

I renamed my general profile to “default” AND removed the “-no-remote” command attached to it.
That fixed all problems for me.

Hope this helps

Leave out the profile name and just put -P -no-remote and you can use just one shortcut instead of two or more.
“C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe” -P -no-remote

@t.mski:

There is an easier way to set the default browser than messing with the registry (I had to do this, as I have both Firefox 2.0.0.13 and Firefox 3 Beta 5 installed).

In Firefox, go to “Tools > Options > Advanced > “General” tab”. In the “System Defaults” field, there is a button marked “Check Now”. Click that to make the current version of Firefox open the default choice for applications accessing it externally.

@Blizz

However, I don’t think that answers Blizz’s question. Blizz, I don’t know the answer, but I would assume that Firefox may use the first profile by default? Perhaps if you changed the name so that the profile that you wanted to use with external applications was listed first, than this might solve that…
