[Bug 116421] firefox shell breaks "profile" option

[jf001]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: mozilla-firefox

Firefox has an option "-profile path"  to start Firefox with profile
located at the given path. (see:
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Using_a_Command_Line_Switch ).

The firefox shell script breaks this option by appending file:// before the path:
Example in debug mode:
firefox -V  -profile /my/new/profile
...
/usr/lib/firefox/firefox-bin -a firefox -profile file:///my/new/profile

But the command should be:
/usr/lib/firefox/firefox-bin -a firefox -profile  /my/new/profile

** Affects: firefox (Ubuntu)
