270220 - Firefox refuses to start if command-line arguements are provided and the Profile Manager is enabled

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Toolkit :: Startup and Profile System, defect)

Description

[Schwang Christian]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0 (All your Firefox/1.0 are belong to Firesomething... Really!!!)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

I set the Profile Manager to show up always if I start Firefox. Now when I try
to load a local saved HTML-file or if I click on a Link (on my desktop, or in my
Mail-Application) the Profile Manager shows up like usual. But when i select a
Profile and click "Start Firefox" the Profile Manager disappears. Firefox won't
start up. The process "Firefox.exe" also disappers in the Task Manager.
Additionally, if I start Firefox by just clicking on "Firefox.exe" the Profile
Manager acts like usual and when I click "Start Firefox" the browser starts up
and tries to look up the word "build" (my default Start-up page is ignored)

I'm sorry if my English is not the best but I'm no native English speaker.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Firefox 1.0 Final
2. Create a new profile
3. Set the Profile Manager to always show up
4. Start Firefox and then exit
5. Try to open a local File, or just start Firefox as usual
6. Click on "Start Firefox"

Actual Results:  
Firefox closed immediately after clicking Start Firefox or it tried to look up
the word Build (which takes you usually to the page www.build.com )

Expected Results:  
Start up and open my default start-up page

New command-line handling code should have fixed this a while back.
