[Bug 138091] Starting firefox with parameter -profile don't work

[Daniel]

Public bug reported:

First, try to start firefox with the following parameters:
firefox -profile A_PROFILE_DIRECTORY -no-remote
This will not work.  But, according to the this, http://kb.mozillazine.org/Command_line_arguments it should work.

After looking at the /usr/bin/firefox script, I found that if I add the '-profile' option to the list of paramaters, it works well.
So, I replaced the following lines:

    case "${arg}" in
        -a | --display | -contentLocale | -UILocale | -remote | --debugger | -height | -width | -chrome | -P | -CreateProfile)
            prev=${arg}
            continue
        ;;
    esac

With these ones:

    case "${arg}" in
        -a | --display | -contentLocale | -UILocale | -remote | --debugger | -height | -width | -chrome | -profile | -P | -CreateProfile)
            prev=${arg}
            continue
        ;;
    esac

(The only change is adding -profile to the list)
Thanks
