399633 - Profile manager cannot be accessed; profiles may not be created, altered, or viewed.

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Toolkit :: Startup and Profile System, defect)

Description

[Jessie Gurd]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.0.04506.30)
Build Identifier: Firefox/2.0.0.7

I wished to transfer my profile from my old computer to my new one. There is no Profile Manager under Tools, and the /firefox.exe -ProfileManager (or any variation thereof) results in an error message because no such thing exists. There is no directory dedicated to Firefox profiles on my computer.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Look for Profile Manager.
Actual Results:  
I can't find the Profile Manager.

Expected Results:  
The Profile Manager should probably exist somewhere.

Brand new installation. Have reinstalled and updated builds.

You should run with -P or -profilemanager. Please visit support forums for assistance in accessing the profile manager, bugzilla is not for user support.
