Description

The "Start Firefox/Thunderbird" button is missing from the profile manager. The dialog is too small.

I have seen this before and iirc I was only able to reproduce this on first run when I have started the application without any profiles on the system. After creating a profile it isn't possible to start the application via the start button since it is missing but after exiting the profile manager and then launching with the profile manager the start button is then present - I believe this is conditional on whether there is a profile or not.

Henrik, is this what you are experiencing?

Yes you're right. So perhaps we should change the Summary to something like "No Start button after you create the first profile using -profilemanager"

I think it should always be shown and be disabled if there are no profiles in the list... there is no reason to hide / unhide it and have to resize the dialog.
