I can confirm all here already mentioned bugs - as of today.
ubuntu 8.10 == all updates installed
# firefox -v
Mozilla Firefox 3.0.5, Copyright (c) 1998 - 2008 mozilla.org
=======1)
~# man iceweasel
No manual entry for iceweasel
~# man firefox
No manual entry for firefox
See 'man 7 undocumented' for help when manual pages are not available.
I expect some man pages with "-a" option documented.
=======2)
~# firefox -h
Usage: firefox [ options ... ] [URL]
where options include:
X11 options
--display=DISPLAY X display to use
--sync Make X calls synchronous
--no-xshm Don't use X shared memory extension
--xim-preedit=STYLE
--xim-status=STYLE
--g-fatal-warnings Make all warnings fatal
Mozilla options
-height <value> Set height of startup window to <value>.
-h or -help Print this message.
-width <value> Set width of startup window to <value>.
-v or -version Print Firefox version.
-P <profile> Start with <profile>.
-ProfileManager Start with ProfileManager.
-no-remote Open new instance, not a new window in running
instance.
-UILocale <locale> Start with <locale> resources as UI
Locale.
-safe-mode Disables extensions and themes for this session.
-jsconsole Open the Error console.
-g or --debug Start within /usr/bin/gdb (Must be first)
==> not documented "-a" option
I expect some man pages with "-a" option documented.
=======3)
# firefox -ProfileManager
* Expected results: The Profile Manager window should appear.
* Actual result: A new browser window of the currently running profile appears.
* Workaround: Run ``firefox -a NonExistingProfileName`` to force Firefox to
show the Profile Manager window.
=======4)
# firefox -P NonExistingProfileName
* Expected results: The Profile Manager window should appear.
* Actual result: A new browser window of the currently running profile appears.
* Workaround: Run ``firefox -a NonExistingProfileName`` to force Firefox to
show the Profile Manager window.
=======5)
# firefox -P aaa (existing profile: aaa named "aaa")
* Expected results: A new browser window with "aaa" (or any other called
<profile>) should appear.
* Actual result: A new browser window of the currently running profile appears.
* Workaround: Run ``firefox -a NonExistingProfileName`` to force Firefox to
show the Profile Manager window, then pickup profile you wanted :(
All test were with 3 profiles created and only and exactly 1 running!
I also can confirm (from memory = AFAIR) that all that behaviour is
correct (=no bugs from above) on WXP with FF3.0.4.
