Hi, I reverted the changes about the new ProfileManager and I'm collaborating with Bram for a better UX. about:profiles is still there and you can use it to manage your profiles once FF is running. I marked as duplicates all of those bugs. The new profileManager will be implemented here: bug 12400

Note that there are add-ons such as "Profile Switcher" which allow you to display the profile manager dialog without touching the command-line. I don't know if that qualifies as "user facing" or not. It's certainly an advanced user feature that most people will never see. kats On Fri, Dec 18, 201
