Details

It possible to do a mozilla -P <profileName> to get started with a profile
of user's choice.
If the profile name has spacein it,  then use double quotes i.e., mozilla -P "my
Profile".
This should be documented when doing a mozilla.exe -help

This probably needs to be reassigned, though I'm not sure who the owner is. Vera 
isn't the one to add it to the -help options.

By the way, shouldn't the spelling be ProfileName, to be consistent with the 
style of the other options?

Vera, see me if you want to see exactly where this appears.
McAfee, I believe you're The Man on this (cool, you've apparently written help 
text per lxr...you're now an auxiliary member of the Info Design group). 
Reassigning.

I guess the option is "-P <profile name>", though I couldn't get that to work 
for me. Seems like for consistency with the other profile options the option 
should have been -ProfileName <profile>. But if -P works, no problem. BUT, one 
last minor point...Is there some case-sensitivity to the options? The other 
single-letter ones are lowercase, so maybe it should be "-p".

a note about the profile options

the case sensitivity thing will be fixed when I fix bug #25282
I will add a note to fix the help text in 25282

build now says

  -P <profile>  Start with <profile>.

We need to be consise to try and fit this in a
dos shell window, that's short & sweet.  Fixed.
