I have a Solaris firefox issue where I am unable to launch firefox with ProfileManager option. I using 3.6.12 . I have tried to remove lock files and re-naming (.mozilla) without success.

Any pointers /suggestions on how to cleanup this offending install is appreciated.

  1. /usr/bin/firefox -ProfileManager (does not launch)
  1. echo $?

1 

 But it is ok to simply using “/usr/bin/firefox” without option.


Do you know where to locate the error information?


After jsconsole opened, we can see this error message when execute “firefox -ProfileManager”:


Error: Warning: unrecognized command line flag -ProfileManager


Source File: file:///usr/lib/firefox/components/nsBrowserContentHandler.js

Line: 708
