Details

the profile back end currently accepts: -SelectProfile -ProfileManager -ProfileWizard -installer -CreateProfile -P I want to make sure it handles -- versions (like --CreateProfile) and it is case insensitive, so -profilemanager works, as does -ProfileManager I'm assigning this to me, because there is a bunch of other work that needs to be done before this. right now, the mozilla shell script is hard coded and probably won't pass unknown options to mozilla-bin. I need to fix that, along with bug #24870
The bug for passing options to mozilla-bin is: http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23084
Adding 23084 to the dependency list.
Depends on: 23084
Note from 23874, need to update help text in nsAppRunner.cpp:630 if/when commandline args change. We should list them all lowercase, or be consistant somehow.
