Does anybody knows which file I need to edit?


Do you mean 3 Firefox profiles for one user, or three user logins for the system?


Yes, I have three profiles when starting Firefox for one one usre. - one for browsing about 7 tabs open - accounting 4 tabs open - secure anonymous browsing using tor (this is the profile I would like to start tor before starting Firefox).


In that case, someone may know a better way to do it, but I would write a bash script that started the program tor, and then firefox using the specific profile. I don't remember the command-line options to do this atm, but I know they exist and should be easy to find with firefox --help. Oh, OK, I just ran that to make sure it was a legal command, so the switch you'd want is:


        -P <profile>            Start with <profile>.


Once that's done, you can run the script from an alias, or an icon/menu/panel/launcher, or of course directly from the terminal.


HTH,
Holly
