I'm running Ubuntu Linux 10.04, Firefox is installed manually by downloading the .tar.bz2 and extracting it to ~/opt/firefox

When I start Firefox with $~/opt/firefox/firefox -no-remote -P profilename external links aren't open, neither from other application nor from a terminal, just the profile manager pops up.

I've read and tested that not using -no-remote solves this, but I need two have two profiles for different purposes and use the -no-remote option.

It worked flawless until Firefox 8, with Firefox 9 it stopped working.

Was the -no-remote option behaviour changed on purpose in Firefox 9 or is it possible to fix this?

Using -no-remote to start Firefox can have that effect.
