When I try to launch another profile in firefox, I get this message: [JavaScript Application] Impossible to find the executable file. To fix this, set a valid path in the options window.

You can launch the profile manager or make a new shortcut with the name of the other profile with Windows, right?

Having this problem with FF21 Beta1, add-on version 1.5.0.2 on Win7 immediately after upgrading FF.

I would try to make a shortcut to the other profile as you suggested, but I honestly don't even know where the file is, if its a separate config or another executable all together.
