Portable Firefox Profile switcher

Submitted by alexvoda on July 11, 2007 - 12:21pm

I would like to request a profile switcher for portable firefox.
PortableApps.com Menu already identifies exe files.
Could the luncher be modified to select different profiles(not create, just select)?
Point:
I use Firefox for many things and for this i use close to 80 extensions.
I would prefer to not load them all for everything i do.
I would like to have a profile for downloads, one for debugging websites, etc.

Application: NetStumbler

Description: NetStumbler (also known as Network Stumbler) is a tool for Windows that facilitates detection of Wireless LANs using the 802.11b, 802.11a and 802.11g WLAN standards.

Using Wine in a new way

Program: Wine (Wine Is Not an Windows Emulator)
Site: http://www.winehq.org/
Description: It allows that Windows Apps run on Linux (It works as a compatibility lawyer)
License: GNU Lesser General Public License (http://www.winehq.org/site/license) (Freeware and OpenSource)
Other:

I have a new amazing idea, but first I will explain how it works:
Wine is a compatibility lawyer between the OS (Linux or Mac) and the Apps for Windows.
It also creates a folder that is the virtual hard drive for the Windows Apps.

Now my idea:

Can we get a sticky list of requested apps? It would save a lot of searching and repeated requests.

Something simple like this:

App              Url                            Free  Open Portable Status
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
VLC Player      www.videolan.org/vlc              Y     Y     Y      Done
Super           www.erightsoft.com/SUPER.html     Y     N     ?      DNQ
M.S. OutLook    office.microsoft.com              N     N     ?      DNQ
