Is this a custom script you're using to start firefox?

Usually "firefox" in a console will fire up the 'ol girl.

What version of puppy are you using and where did you get firefox?

all that's contained in my script is this

/usr/firefox/firefox -profile /usr/ff_profile

it's just a way to use my profile. I'm using puppy2.1.4 and I got firefox straight from the firefox website.

My guess is: you should do it as below to start with a particular profile

/usr/firefox/firefox -P actualprofilename

I suppose to start the profile manager to see what your various profile names are, do this:

/usr/firefox/firefox -ProfileManager
