Trying to get the profile manager on a new installation. Machine running Widows 7 I set target in shortcut to: C:\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe -profile manager Click on apply get message: The name 'C:\Mozilla' specifies in the Target box is not valid. Make sure the path and file name are correct.

If a file path contains spaces the you need to add quotes around the full file path:

"C:\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -ProfileManager

(ProfileManager is one word!)

Firefox normally installs to C:\Program Files\Mozilla\ Firefox\ - did you do a "custom" installation and specify the C:\ drive?

I did a custom installation. I try to put all programs in individual C:\ drive folders. I have three other machines running Firfox and they all installed on C:\ drive folders, but they are all running XP. The profile manager works on all three of them.

That worked, what if find unusual, is that on my other machines, it would not work with the quote marks. So that was one option I did not try. I tried by putting the whole link in quotes, and I tried by taking off the quotes.

My other machines work with no quotes????

Thanks.
