No need for a regression range, thanks.
Can we resolve this before Wednesday night's (Thursday morning's) build? I am guessing users updating to latest aurora and using command line options will be affected here. Correct ?

I am ccing QA to help verify this as a part of 21.0a2 sign-off .

I think a fix for this landed in bug 841197. Kamil is going to verify it with tomorrow's build while he is testing bug 841197.  If it passes I told him to mark this as resolved / works for me.
It seems fixed in Nightly2013-02-20.

Went through the following issue and everything passed without any problems.

Downloaded and installed the following build:
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/2013-02-08-03-10-53-mozilla-central/firefox-21.0a1.en-US.win32.installer.exe

Once the above build has been installed, went through the following steps:

- Selected "Start -> All Programs"
- Right clicked on "Nightly" and changed the "Target" to the following value: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Nightly\firefox.exe" -ProfileManager
- Launched the Nightly build and ensured that the Profile Manager is launched
- Updated the Nightly build using the "Help -> About Nightly" (22.0a1 2013-02-20)
- Once updated, closed the Nightly build and re-opened it (Profile Manager was launched)
- Checked the "Nightly Properties" once again and ensured that the value was: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Nightly\firefox.exe" -ProfileManager
