I have Firefox 3.0.1 and multiple User Profiles.

The Task Manager shows that firefox.exe ist started. 
When I tried to start Firefox directly, the User Profile doesn't appear.

I've seen this also. Seems like it should be a dupe of another bug - have you checked if there is one already filed?

DUP of Bug 395891(verified1.9.0.2)?
Can following be a workaround?
> Check "don`t ask at startup" at Profile Manager

Yes, i think it is the same problem of Bug 395891.

As I change often the Profile I need the Profile Manager startup.
A Workaround is, to start the Firefox first and then click on the URL in the Thunderbird.  

So I hope that Firefox 3.1 will solve the problem.

"verified1.9.0.2" of Bug 395891 means the bug will be resolved by next Fx 3.0.2. Closing as DUP of Bug 395891.
