Good day. I want to know the command line options for Firefox Portable.
What I want to do is this; Firefox.exe -no-remote -new-instance -P Firefox_Current
**From Firefox help pages;
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Command_Line_Options
Usage: C:\PROGRA~1\MOZILL~1\firefox.exe [ options ... ] [URL]
where options include:
-P Start with ==profile==.
-no-remote Do not accept or send remote commands; implies -new-instance.
-new-instance Open new instance, not a new window in running instance.

If you wish to use -P, use a local copy. -P is for local profiles only in the default profiles location within APPDATA.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
Yes, but the problem seems to be the portable apps are
not recognizing the command switches when I use a Win
batch file program to start Firefox.
FirefoxPortable.exe uses -profile to select a profile internally which overrides use of -P. -P is for local profiles only and not something dealt with in Firefox Portable. If you wish to use -P use a local install of Firefox or use the standard firefox.exe within Firefox Portable which will work the same as local. Note that we don't support this, of course.

Thank you for your reply. What I wanted was to make sure it uses the correct profile.
Now then, what about these switches?
-no-remote -new-instance
