Firefox with specific profile

[caschy]

Hi all,

first: I took my first steps with AutoIt

So, i will learn - but it's hard if you don't know where to start first. I've searching around a few hours - but i didn't find anything, that will help me.

I wanna create my own launcher to use a portable Version of Firefox. I have a folder called "Firefox" Inside this folder is my profile-folder called "myprofile".

If i call a batch will, this will work:

@echo off
cd firefox
set MOZ_NO_REMOTE=1
start firefox.exe -profile "myprofile"
set MOZ_NO_REMOTE=0

So, how to get this with AutoIt to work?

Run( "C:\Users\caschy\Desktop\Firefox\firefox.exe" -profile "myprofile" )

Doesnt work.

You have to have "some" understanding of how to use some of the functions, such as syntax and operators.

I have no idea if this is right... but you can try this:

Run('"C:\Users\caschy\Desktop\Firefox\firefox.exe" -profile myprofile')

You may also like to look at ShellExecute. Edited March 7, 2007 by SmOke_N

How about this one?

Run(@ComSpec & " /c " & 'cd firefox && set MOZ_NO_REMOTE=1 && start firefox.exe -profile "myprofile && set MOZ_NO_REMOTE=0', "", @SW_HIDE)

By the way, I don´t think you´ll need the "set MOZ_NO_REMOTE=0". It´s obsolete, if you ask me. But I guess it won´t do any harm, so it´s up to you.

Run( 'C:\Users\caschy\Desktop\Firefox\firefox.exe -profile "myprofile"' )

Try that.

[caschy]

Run( 'C:\Users\caschy\Desktop\Firefox\firefox.exe -profile "myprofile"' )

Try that.

None of them above will work..
