Description

[George R. Goffe]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:19.0) Gecko/19.0 Firefox/19.0

Steps to reproduce:

Actual results:

No response from left button click on startup prompt.


Expected results:

Firefox is not "hearing" or is ignoring the button depress event.

Thanks for the report, but clearly there's something special about your setup. Please at least try to be more specific about the part where you "have enabled profileManager at startup". Does Firefox itself work properly if you launch it the same way (but without the -profileManager switch)?

Nickolay,

I did this some time ago. I initially started FF with the -p option and poked the "do this always" radio button. From that point on, FF starts by asking me what I want to do. I have 3 profiles... One "normal" and two for testing. When I get the initial prompt, there's the profile selection and a button to start FF. When I left button poke this button, NOTHING happens. When I hit enter, "normal" FF operation resumes.

Need more info?

George...
