Due to bug 26761, there's no easy way to find documentation on command line
options (in Windows). It would be nice to include this information in the Help,
or at least to list links to related mozilla.org articles:

http://www.mozilla.org/docs/command-line-args.html

wontfix. We only cover things the users can do with the GUI.

If not part of the Help file, how about documenting this in the readme?

BTW, the Help file does cover things that users cannot do with the GUI, e.g.
chrome://help/locale/profiles_help.html#creating_profiles

This might be OK as a website article or something of that sort, but not for
Help Systems. Reopening and moving to mozilla.org - Webmaster in case they feel
like writing this for the website.

If not, change it back to WONTFIX.

Ooops! sorry! I misinterpreted the bug report. This is already on the website.

Moving back to Wontfix. This definetely wouldn't be appropriate for Help. Sorry
about that Daniel!

Perhaps the two of you missed my question... so, if not part of the Help file,
how about documenting this in the readme?

Microsoft documents command-line switches for their application in their help
files, why shouldn't we?  The purpose of the file is to provide help about the
application, is it not?
