Hello, It is possible to add some documentation about how to use the option -firefoxProfileTemplate because in my tests it looks like it ignores the path. Where are the profiles saved in linux?

I have firefox 2.0.0.9 installed and running the following command.

home/omc/michael/jdk1.6.0_14/bin/java -jar selenium-server.jar -forcedBrowserMode *firefox -singleWindow -firefoxProfileTemplate /home/omc/bla/firefox/defaults/profile

We actually have no control over how Selenium command line options work.

I know that others have gotten this working. Selenium RC docs (http://seleniumhq.org/docs/05_selenium_rc.html) contain some additional information.

You can create a new profile with Firefox's own profile manager (using command firefox -ProfileManager from shell) and store it anywhere you like. The default profile is usually in $HOME/.mozilla/firefox.
