    How to open Profile Manager in Firefox 57


    Whenever I 'Run' firefox.exe -F with FF57 installed it just goes to a blank FF screen. I've also use -profilemanger in additon to -F.

    Does FF57 require something different?

    Thank you

    :)

    If you are running Firefox 57, it breaks compatibility with older XUL extension. You might need to downgrade to Firefox 56 or Long Term Release so you can use Status-4-Evar.

    Problems with Windows 10 Photo App Color Rendition

    Just checked again on MS Edge, IE, and Mozilla Firefox - all up to date as of today - something strange is going on.

    I have a fully colour managed system using a profiled wide-gamut monitor. Yes, Edge, IE and Firefox all display the ICC V4 pdf correctly (with just a bit of darkening top-right in Firefox).

    However, when I load a JPG image things get more complicated. The following table summarizes what happens. I have included how Windows Photo Viewer (WPV) and Photoshop behave for comparison too.

    Correct display colour
    Image colour space

    SRGB
    Adobe RGB

    Monitor setting
    SRGB
    IE, Edge
    IE

    Profile
    Firefox, PS, WPV
    Edge, Firefox, PS, WPV

    It seems that, Firefox, Photoshop and Windows Photo Viewer are consistent in that they depend on the monitor being in the profiled mode to show colours correctly - remember, it is a wide gamut monitor and all applications should read the monitor profile
    to work properly.

    IE, however, seems not to read the monitor profile and thus depends on the monitor being set to SRGB output (over-riding its default settings).

    Edge is all over the place !

    Thanks for the try but all it does is to open FF to a blank page like the others.

    Do you have more than one profile and is Firefox open?

    This is the shortcut I had pinned to my Start long before the update to 57 (in fact, It's been there since 2015) . It still works for 57.

    "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -p

    As Edwin points out, Firefox must be closed before you can run the Profile Manager.

    Thanks to Edwin and Bree. I had forgotten that FF had to be closed to be able to use the profile manager.
