Thunderbird 3.1.8 and Firefox 3.6.14 are my default programs. I have set up all my programs, installed in different folders, with very different profiles, so I know, exactly, what comes up.
Lately (probably, for the past week), whenever I click on a link in TB3.1.8, Firefox will open, but with the 4.0b12 profile (Help|About Mozilla Firefox tells me that it is 3.6.14). Any idea why?

Do you have your 4.0b12 profile as the default profile for Firefox?

I, never, knew that one could select a profile as default. My default is 3.6.14, and I get to it with the profile switch. Its profile is called Firefox1.0x, for old time sake., while the 4.x's profile is called default1. I removed the "default" profile. So, to get to Firefox3.6.14, I modify the Target line by adding:

-p Firefox1.0x

.
Similarly, I get to 4.x by modifying its shortcut Target line, by adding

-p default1

.
Decided to change my Target to, just,

-p

, which brings up the Profile Manager. For reasons that I don't understand the default1 was highlighted, and the box, not to ask, was checked. That would explain why a link would open the correct browser with the wrong profile. Interestingly, this happens when I upgraded to 3.6.14, although I never did anything to the profile manger.
