Hello

```

~ /Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox-bin

[1] 5919 killed /Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox-bin ```

Can't event imagine how to debug this - FF has stopped working totally from the command line, despite options etc It is still working when run from the dock however. But I need to start it from the terminal for the second profile

You should be able to run trace and see what happens. Trace on mac is new for me, but let's play with it and see what happens. trace -t [-o outfile] I assume it should be something like trace -t -o firefox_outfile /Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox-bin

Let's test...

Nope.... crashed and burned.  ;-)

Browser is working when started from the Dock, yes. I've even found a workaround to start secondary profile through http://about:profiles

The trick with `open` helps. Thanks a lot

No problem. If no further questions, please mark this issue as resolved to get it off our list of things to do. Have a nice day.
