[Solved] Firefox 5 profiles

Question

In the days of pre Firefox 5 I used to have few Firefox profiles and open them, for example,  by using "firefox -p privacy" or "firefox -p dev" or just "firefox -p" to let firefox show me the list of available profiles. Now when I try to use the "-p" option I get bash script error that it "Cannot execute /usr/lib/firefox-5.0/firefox-bin.pure".
Here is that place in the script from the line 108 (/usr/lib/firefox-5.0/firefox)
pass_arg_count=0
while [ $# -gt $pass_arg_count ]
do
  case "$1" in
    -p | --pure | -pure)
      MOZILLA_BIN="${MOZILLA_BIN}.pure"
      shift
Is this a bug or something has changed?
Thank you.

Answer 1

It was always "-P" ('Create a new profile by running Firefox with the -P command line argument, choose the "Manage Profiles" button and then choose "Create Profile...".' [1]) and the script located at /usr/bin/firefox comes from mozilla itself.
