Details
Starting profile manager with the command line flag is not very straightfoward for a significant part of the user base. Also the problems encountered with firefox not being completly closed causes further confusion. An easy solution would be to add a menu option to restart firefox at the profile manager. Selecting this option informs the user that firefox must be restarted, it then closes all running instances of firefox (including chatzilla running on firefox etc..) and restarts firefox with the apropirate folag to open the profile manager.Starting profile manager with the command line flag is not very straightforward for a significant part of the user base.

If this is UI bloat then an alternative is to add a third shortcut on the windows start menu program group to start the profile manager. However this will have the same problem as the safe mode shortcut in that it won’t open if Firefox is already running.
