Could someone test and confirm bug 292618 for me please?
The "-profile \filepath" command line option no longer works making it impossible to specify a startup profile (e.g. on removable media)

from yesterday:
Actually, Memory leak? bugs are up overall, oddly enough. Though it should be noted that some pretty bad ones HAVE been fixed.

I can run Firefox with this command; do you mean that?:
"E:\Moz\firefox\firefox.exe" -profile "E:\Moz\Profile"
When there are spaces in the locations (e.g. Documents and Settings, My Documents) I get errors, untitled and wrong pages.

I'm not too good at bugzilla searching. Anybody know a way to search for "have patch" code and still open bugs? Thanks.

ya just file the bug as an enhancement and attach that code. would be helpful as a patch or .diff file, whatever is applicable for that code. also add keyword 'have patch'

A third one from yesterday:
Why are these two documents not combined? It just seems confusing.

Opening Page Info multiple times?!?
I thought there was a patch that was supposed to make it so you couldn't open "Page Info" or "Page Source" multiple times. Wasn't that applied?

Yep, but it was reopened because it didn't cover all the accesspoints for Page InfoBoxerBoi76 wrote:I thought there was a patch that was supposed to make it so you couldn't open "Page Info" or "Page Source" multiple times. Wasn't that applied?

Out of cureosity I started some old builds:
Before June 2004 when the profile was still called Firefox the command "C:\Firefox\firefox.exe" -profile started Firefox, not the profile manager.
Later than June 2004 when the Firefox profile was inside the Mozilla folder, the command -profile only worked when it was followed by the location of the profile: -profile "C:\Profile".

For "Documents and Settings" use "Docume~1" and for "My Documents" use "mydocu~1" etc. (first 6 letters of folder name + "~1" or if you have another folder with same first 6 letters in name use "~1" OR "~2").

I found the problem I was having with the -profile option.
The problem was in the "compreg.dat" file in the profile I was using - Once I deleted this and relaunched Firefox from my batch file it worked fine and the file was recreated automatically.
It would seem to have been caused by bug 280199.

I don't think people are testing them properly. I've had the same issues with the nightlies since a few builds ago. It seems that the xpis are in limbo in the profile directory under extensions/staged-xpis and won't come out of it. Although a directory for the Extension's GUID gets created.
If you copy the .XPI archive from the extensions/staged-xpis/{GUID} to the /extensions dir and then restart firefox, a window will pop-up asking if you wish to install these things found in the extensions directory. If you click "Install Now" both the XPIs (in extension\ and extension\staged-xpis) disappear and the extension is installed into the empty {GUID} directory and works right then.
That's what i've been facing with new profiles. It seems a lot of people only check profiles on updating but not reinstalling.
btw, Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050502 Firefox/1.0+ is what I am using and have seen this issue for maybe 5 days or so?
