How can I determine which profile Firefox 3 is currently using?
I have 4 profiles in my C:\Documents and Settings\ral\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ folder. I think Firefox opens with eepi9w6m.b117. How can I find out?
I could use C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -ProfileManager if I knew how to make it prompt - howto uncheck the "open without asking" box without being able to open the dialog that contains it.

To find which Profile you are using' ...
- Help -> Trouble Shooting Information -> "Open Containing Folder"
- or direct by typing about:support then "Open Containing Folder"
The filename of the folder contains the Profile Name
One directory up from your current profile are all of your profile folders

Start > Run Type "firefox -P" (without quotations) and hit enter.
That brings up the prompt to choose what profile to use this session.
NOTE, for me this only works if all windows of firefox is completely shut down before I start it with firefox -P. I don't know if that's how it should be or not.

@Chrispa76:
Yes, I forgot the need to close Firefox. Dumb mistake.
@dmcritchie:

Copy and Paste this code in the Code field in the "Tools > Error Console" and click the Evaluate button to see the location of the profile folder.
