One of the few things I appreciate in Seamonkey which is not avaliable on firefox is the easy access to profilemanager. I wish it were implemented similarly on Firefox. Please developer friends, have in mind that non-tech savvy users will never use the command line to trigger the profile manager, and I am sure the vast majority of users just *ignore* there is such a feature, which is sad because it is very useful to switch from one profile to another (and why not, have several profiles open simultaneously. Again please don't depise this request saying as usual "well, you just have to type a command line and it is so easy". No it is not. You designed icons so that the user has just to click on it and get its say bookmarks. Fine. Why could not it as easy to switch between profiles ? TIA

The plan is to remove the Profile Manager UI, and replace it with a separate application. See bug 214675.
