Could you attach a screnshot of your profile manager after step 1.

I guess if you check the second checkbox about starting the highlighted profile by default, the link is open in a new tab?

Sure, but that's not what I want. I want to, every time the firefox is closed and the profile manager pops up, choose the right profile. And if I click one of the available profiles the before clicked link should be shown in a new tab. So the profile manager remembers the link because the firefox starts and pass it to firefox to show the link. I don't want to set a default profile.
