My second and third user profiles don't open in a window like the first, they stay minimised.

I have just moved my profiles to a Windows 7 PC, from XP; everything works OK except this:

When I open the Firefox profile manager from either a short cut on the desktop or a link pinned to the Start bar, and select anything but the first profile in the list, it opens it minimised to the Start bar. I have to hover either over the desk top icon or the one on the Start bar to get it full screen.

To see if it was a profile problem, I added a brand new "Guest" account and that does exactly the same.

I an using Firefox version 23.0.1, and Windows 7, 64 bit, Home Premium edition.

You may need to use -new-window or -no-remote

W_F_F, thanks but that doesn't help.

So you want to use two profiles at a time, the only problem is that the second one comes minimized.

Usually if you use 2 profiles you get a error.

Sorry, I obviously didn't make things too clear. I don't want to use use 2 profiles simultaneously.

My Profile Manager has 3 profiles in it. When I open the first one in the list it opens up OK into a full sized window. But when I open the 2nd or 3rd profile in the list it opens MINIMISED; I then have to click on it to use it.

Under XP the Profile Manager worked fine.

You can check for problems caused by a corrupted localstore.rdf file in the not working profiles.

I tried deleting localstore.rdf and letting Firefox re-create it. No change.
