After a bunch of bugs bouncing back and forth we finally figured out
the FF Linux issue.
The problem is actually with the bash script "firefox" that launches
"firefox-bin" on Ubuntu. The mozilla guys said this wasn't the
default script but was actually specific to Ubuntu. The script tries
to prepend file:// to any valid files, this breaks the -profile
option once it's sent to firefox-bin.
I fixed the problem by copying the bash script, patching it, and
executing the new one.
Anyway, firefox browser launching and dynamic configuration all works
on linux now. Enjoy :)
