FF 7.0.1 on Win7 pro 64

One more bug/strange behaviour: calling "firefox.exe -ProfileManager" - does NOT open the profile manager, - does NOT create new profile, - seems to do NOTHING (no change around profile folders etc.) but . . . - KILLS old session tabs, - KILLS old session and leaves nothing to restore, - KILLS all my pinned tabs!

Ok, should I downgrade to FF4.0.1, or even 3.6.x?? These releases were running much more reliable than 6+7!

@th-edmeister: Thank you very much - that work's!!

However, any idea, why "firefox.exe -ProfileManager" (from Knowledge Base!) killed all the session data, pinned tabs , ... ?
