109765 - URL arg is ignored if -ProfileManager arg is also used

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 74303

(Core Graveyard :: Cmd-line Features, defect)

Description

[Jim Avera]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.5+) Gecko/20011111
BuildID:    2001111109

If the unix command
   mozilla -ProfileManager URL
is used, then after the profile manager interaction, mozilla
does not start at the specified URL, but views the page
which would have been shown if no URL were specified
(i.e., home page or last-visited).

mozilla --help says the general form is
    mozilla [options] [URL]
and doesn't say that URL is not allowed with certain options.



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.visit URL-A, then File->Quit
2.Run command: mozilla -ProfileManager URL-B
  (where URL-B is neither your home page nor URL-A)
3.Select a profile and click Start Mozilla

Actual Results:  Home or last-visited page is displayed

Expected Results:  URL-B should have been displayed

not sure who should get this... seems similar to bug 40481, but don't know if
it's really a duplicate.

This would be a rarely used feature.  Targetting for post mozilla1.0.
