Nope, "-default" does nothing at all. (tested just now)

I think there was some confusion regarding http://www.mozilla.org/support/firefox/profile

I think there was some confusion regarding http://www.mozilla.org/support/firefox/profile

And that page confirms the thought that "-default" or "-defaultprofile" simply uses the profile created by default (in %appdata%).

The syntax I was referring to is:

"C:\program files\mozilla firefox\firefox.exe" -profile defaults\profile"

This is supposed to load the defaults\profile folder...

::Update::

Found more info here.

and by the way the method described in that link above with the 'portable' mozilla apps, works great.

I couldve sworn there was a thread of programs that you could say, toss on a usb key and use on any pc; as opposed to having to re-install the program.

Now back on topic, is tip21 in this page what you were referring to?

[durex]

Thanks pra-

That def helps, but I thought there was an actual seperate topic on this... maybe not.

Wow!

firefox.exe -profile defaults\profile

That works.

So now just run it with that switch, configure/install-extensions, and SFX it up for extraction to new install!

[durex]

another little tidbit Ive found, it doesnt have to be that particular syntax either... lets say you wanted to leave the default profile intact, you could run firefox using -profile <whatever folder> and it will install and use that one.
