User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.5a) Gecko/20030728 Mozilla Firebird/0.6.1

After creating two user profiles, I was able to access them twice.  The third
time I started the FIREBIRD, only the default profile remained.  I have been
doing research and saving web pages.

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.




My version of Linux is LINDOWS OS 4.0!  I am running this on a COMPAQ PRESARIO
2720US Laptop.  Dual booting with WINDOWS XP PRO.  I was looking for a way to
have the FIREBIRD start with a profile everytime, I was unable to figure it out.
 Attempted to use the default profile (tryed to rename it) unsuccessful. Created
two new profiles which were avilable at start up, however after two starts, the
created profiles were gone leaving only the default profile. I have installed
many extensions and regret I don't know how to stop them in order to isolate the
potential extension as the source of the problem.

C.G., you're using a rather old build (over two months). Please test with a
current build and a fresh profile before reporting any bugs. (see
http://texturizer.net/firebird/bugs.html)

This bug works for me on my build from 2003-10-08 on WinXP, but this might be
linux-specific.

You can start Mozilla Firebird with the -p switch to bring up the profile
manager or you can put the profile name after the -p switch to start with your
preferred profile.

No response from reporter in nearly three weeks. Very old build. Marking WFM.
