Stupid non-editable thread titles. >_<

But, how and where? I can't find it.

I think you need a extension for that.

Actually, it's simple, I had the same problem before . . . :D

If you have a shortcut on your desktop, just add the part in bold to the end of its target:

"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -profilemanager

See this topic for more information:

Doesn't work. I tried from Run as well, but it doesn't seem to exist.

It just opens Firefox again, right?

Yeah, if I change the shortcut. From run I get a message that the folder Mozilla doesn't exist (when I type "C:\Programfiler\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" it loads FF fine, but when I type "C:\Programfiler\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe -profilemanager", it looks for the part before the space, which doesn't exist). And I can't find the file by searching for it.

It works for me if I just closed all open browsers and then go to Start > All Programs > Mozilla Firefox > Manage Profiles... I wonder why it won't work for you...

Ah, it does work (C:\Programfiler\Mozill~1\firefox.exe -profilemanager from Run) when FireFox's closed.

Thanks, guys. :)

Just saying you can easily change profiles by typing in Start>Run> then "firefox.exe -p".

Brings the menu right up!
