Firefox Profile Manager not opening (V20.0.1)
I'm trying to open the Profile Manager in order to create a 'developers' profile. I was originally following this blog's instructions using the Run command.
http://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2009/01/28/how-to-develop-a-firefox-extension/
The problem is that it's just opening up a new Firefox window, and nothing else. I then went to get more updated documentation, here:
And alas the same results. Here are the commands I have tried:
firefox -p
firefox -P
firefox -profilemanager
firefox -ProfileManager
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -p "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -P "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -profilemanager "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -ProfileManager
They all return the same result, which is just opening a new Firefox window.

This happens when Firefox isn't completely closed and you still see a firefox.exe process or plugin-container process in the Task Manager.

Gah sorry about the mess of the commands. Here's my reattempt.
firefox -p
firefox -P
firefox -profilemanager
firefox -ProfileManager
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -p
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -P
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -profilemanager
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -ProfileManager

My savior. Thank you! There was a Firefox process still running in the background.
