This would run into problems with existing Firefox profiles which are not on the system at the time of the install - Windows roaming profiles, for example, or an *nix system for which directories under /home are mounted from network shares automatically at login time. (I don't know of any real-world examples of the latter, but the concept seems sound, and I'd like to use such a system at least once in my life.) For that purpose, an ability to migrate post-install would still be needed, and launch-time is a reasonable point for carrying out that migration. That said, however: > Barring this, is there an external profile migration tool (binary) > that can upgrade a specified profile folder if an organization > wanted to script this into their environment (i.e. something > command-line only that would not involve launching the browser > itself)? An ability to trigger migration of a specified profile without having to have the Firefox UI appear - possibly even when an instance of Firefox (presumably with another profile) is already running - could indeed be useful; I might well find a use for such a thing in my own workplace environment. I'm not aware of such a thing already existing, but I would be glad to see it become available. - -- Andrew J.
