18 Thanks, but I don't see an explicit solution there. Basically, I don't
19 really know what Firefox profiles are. I think that that section of the
20 bug report you wrote is telling me I need to manually edit my
21 ~/.mozilla/firefox/profiles.ini in some fashion. I don't know how to
22 start Firefox in a particular profile.
23
24 For what it's worth, my 38.1.0 is built with the bindist USE flag set.
25 As far as I am aware, my 31.8.0 was also built with bindist set.
26
27 I still can't see how to fix this. Would you help me out, please?
28
29 I don't think 38.1.0 should have been stabilised with this serious
30 problem outstanding.
