Hallo, Sonny,

Works For Me (tm), insofar as the Profile Manager opens, I select a profile,
and then the browser opens using the selected profile (I only have one, 
though).

$ rpm -q MozillaFirefox
MozillaFirefox-3.0.9-0.1.1

However, after the browser opens, I get:

$ firefox -ProfileManager
*** nss-shared-helper: Shared database disabled (set NSS_USE_SHARED_DB to enable).
Connection failure: Connection refused

For giggles, I set the suggested environment var and tried again:
$ NSS_USE_SHARED_DB=1 firefox -ProfileManager
Connection failure: Connection refused

Whatever. I don't use ProfileManager, so this is not a big issue
for me.
