Confirming. Whether the problem lies in the cmd line parsing code in xpfe or the
profile mgr remains to be seen.

This bug is targeted at a Mac classic platform/OS, which is no longer supported
by mozilla.org. Please re-target it to another platform/OS if this bug applies
there as well or resolve this bug.

I will resolve this bug as WONTFIX in four weeks if no action has been taken.

WFM too on Firefox 3.1 Beta 2 on Mac. Btw, the profile manager sets by default a profile name called "Default User" and I can run |firefox-bin -P "Default User"| with no problems.
