Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 186315

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

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC; en-US; rv:1.3b) Gecko/20030107
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC; en-US; rv:1.3b) Gecko/20030107

The 1.3-nightlies cannot be started with a predefined profile. This works with
1.2.1 and before.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use the profile manager to make sure you have more than one profile.
2. Create a text file containing ARGS:-P <profile_name>,
   change creator code to MOZZ and file type to CMDL.
3. Double click this file.

Actual Results:  
The Profile Manager appears, asking you to choose a profile.

Expected Results:  
Start Mozilla with the wanted profile.

Broken in build 2002122408 (oldest I could find) and forward.

Forgot to mention that the profile name does _not_ contain spaces (bug 153563).

I'll see if I can repro this with Carbon CFM build on OSX.

I am not convinced this is a dup of bug 186315. The automatically installed
command line files works for me, whether I have one or two profiles (except for
Preferences, which I realy do not know what is supposed to do). Moreover the
suspected code (bug 186315 comment 9) was, if I interpret the CVS blame function
correctly, last changed in feburary 2000, a long time before this broke.
I will wait to see if fixing bug 186315 also fixes this before I reopen this.
Please do not verify as a dupe before this.
