Hi, folks:-) I'm using the mac core 2 duo, 1 gig ram, 160 gig HD.

I'm able to get to my profile manager using Terminal, but I can't seem to get to my app profile using: /Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox-bin/

I'm not sure if I'm typing it in the right place, but tried Preferences and also New Command, neither of which worked.

I sure could use a step by step to get it right:-)

Thanks in advance for any help., and have a nice weekend........

Herb

I'm pretty sure that your app profile is in ~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles

Stravinsky, using the Terminal after typing in the new Command: ~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles, finally clicking on Application Support, then Firefox, it showed the number to my default profile but did not give me any way to actually open it so that I could edit it.

What more do I need to do to actually open the profile?

Thanks again for the prompt reply............

Just FYI, these steps would be identical regardless of which Mac you owned.
