FF is set as default browser. If I click on a link in another application (e.g. Thunderbird), FF3 beta3 doesn't start. A firefox.exe process appears in taskmanager's process list but no window is shown. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a second profile 2. Uncheck the "Don't ask at startup" (don't know the correct English name, using a German version) in the profile manager 3. Start FF and close it again 4. Click on a link in another application or try to open a local html.file from Windows explorer Actual Results: firefox.exe appears in the process list, hovers around 9 mb memory usage but no application window appears. Expected Results: the profile selection window should appear Windows XP Pro Intel Core 2 Duo default theme flashblock and adblock plus add ons
