Can you support FirefoxPortable2ndProfile.ini?

FirefoxPortable2ndProfile.exe doesn't come with its own INI file.

It should be like FirefoxPortable.ini, or at least support basic things like DisableSplashScreen...

Thanks!

Same

It uses the same style INI file as FirefoxPortable.exe. It just lives in FirefoxPortable2ndProfile\Data now. You can edit that file and set the splash screen off. You also need to save a copy to the FirefoxPortable2ndProfile directory as well (due to a bug in the 2nd profile launcher that will otherwise replace the one in Data every time) even though that one will be ignored.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!

Weird but works

It's weird but it works. Will it be improved in the future to being just a regular INI file?

Also, it didn't have DisableSplashScreen, but adding it worked.

Yes and No

Later you'll be able to ditch the FFP.ini in the FFP2ndProfile directory. The real one will be in FFP2ndProfile\Data because that's where FFP.exe is. FFP2ndProfile.exe uses the real FFP.exe from the real FFP folder by copying it in at launch (FFP2ndProfile.exe does not have a splash screen and does not accept any options via INI). And FFP.exe only uses an INI in its own directory.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
