Firefox should open using the default profile.

Please try changing the Firefox profile that is set to the default.

Hi, Thanks for reply, but the default is not the one I want. The default is apparently always set to the last profile created, but I want the first profile created to open - so the default must therefore be changed. As stated in my original posting - I believe that this can be changed in a config file of some kind - so can someone tell me where to find this in Centos 6?

You can start Firefox via the profile manager to set the default profile to use when you start Firefox normally and use multiple profiles.
You can set a check-mark on "don't ask at startup" to make Firefox use this profile.
You should use a desktop shortcut to start Firefox with another profile when necessary.

Hi, None of these answers answer this question - which is that it is THUNDERBIRD that is selecting a profile that I don't want started. It makes no difference what check boxes you check or don't check in the Firefox profile editor itself. Checking "don't ask" does nothing here. And yes I am very familiar with how to start any Firefox profile of choice from a deskop- I have several different launchers already on my desktop to do just this.

BUT - when I receive an email in my Thunderbird inbox with a link and when I click this link it does not open the Firefox profile that I want.

OR to put it another way - when I click on a link in an email in a Thunderbird inbox - the wrong Firefox profile is started.
