189436 - If I have multiple profiles, I always have to choose one when I start Mozilla.

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 71359

(SeaMonkey :: Startup & Profiles, enhancement)

Description

[Michael Kremser]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.3b) Gecko/20030114
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.3b) Gecko/20030114

On most of my systems I use Mozilla with multiple user profiles, so I can use
Mozilla and Netscape at a time. It would be great if I could set a "default
profile", so if I start Mozilla, it first tries the defaut profile and lets me
select another profile _only_ if the default profile can not be used.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a web page
2. Be angry about the "waste of time" when selecting a profile (it could be faster).

Why do you not use "mozilla -p Profilename" ?

Comment 2

[Michael Kremser]

Because that is very uneffective: I have to add this to all file extensions in
Windows; I don't know how Unix-systems handle this, but if there would be a
little option in Mozilla, it would also be easier & faster to use.

Bug 97622 will probably fix this. If Michael does not like what is proposed
there, this is a dupe of bug 162280.

Comment 4

there's actually a bug with a patch to add a default profile option.

Comment 5

[Alex Bishop]

Sounds like bug 71359.
