I wanted to do individual icons for each Profile back in the days of Firefox 1.0, 1.5, & 2.0, and didn't find a way to do it, either. The icon that is displayed in the upper-left corner of the Firefox browser window and in the Windows system tray when a Firefox window is minimized is the main-window.ico that is in the program files folder; no way that I found to move that file to an individual Profile or to have Firefox use a file in the Profile folder as the main-window.ico.

I use an extension to re-arrange the titles in the Titlebar and another extension to change the Mozilla Firefox wording in the Titlebar to display the name of the Profile that is running - that is how I identify which Profile is running. I have my own naming convention when I create Profiles - Firefox version number that Profile was created for, date of creation of that Profile, and whether it is a brand new fresh Profile or one that I cloned from another Profile. Like this: 3.6_01-25-10-N

Ah yes, I think I saw one of your posts while searching for a solution to this.

That helps a bit. I just kinda figured there might have been a way to do this by now.

It'd be pretty sweet if a Mozilla person could make this an RFE.=)

Could you please post a link to the extension you mentioned? I'm trying to find it but am not having any luck.

Sorry about forgetting a name and source for those two extensions. http://www.cosmicat.com/extensions/ Titlebar Tweaks 1.8.0 to flip the Browser Name with the Page Title so the Browser Name shows first and can be seen when that window is minimized to the system tray - hasn't been updated for many years, but I open the XPI file and edit the maxVersion in the install.rdf file to 3.6.* to get it to install in Firefox 3.6.x versions. Fortunately they haven't changed the coding in that part of Firefox, so it still works - but you have to "bump" it to get it to install.

Nightly Tester Tools is what I use to change the Browser Name to a custom title http://www.oxymoronical.com/web/firefox/nightly 3.6_01-20-10-N

Full instructions for "bumping" in case you aren't familiar with doing it.

If you don't already have it, download and install the 7-Zip program - it is a file archive utility manager program for Windows - free & open source. http://www.7-zip.org/ Once 7-Zip is installed, right-click the XPI file and select Open with > 7-Zip File Manager

Once you see the contents of that XPI, locate the install.rdf file, Right-click the install.rdf file and select Edit & your text editor will open. Locate the em:maxVersionline and edit to read 3.6.* . Then use File > Save as... in your text editor and 7-Zip will ask you if you want to save the changes to the archive - don't use any compression if you are asked about that when saving the file in your test editor.

--- Every RFE Bug report I have seen filed about enhancing anything to do with Profiles has been WONTFIX'd by the developers. Profiles aren't supported and the use of multiple Profiles simultaneously isn't sanctioned by Mozilla. It's there, but they don't want to answer for perceived problems that a user might encounter. And the last few times someone made a big deal about it in a Bug report, a developer mentioned the possibility of Profiles being removed from Firefox at some future date. That shut down the complaints in that report real fast.

IMO, be happy for what we have and don't ask for anything more - or we're liable to lose it all.
