Firefox Profiles


I was downloading a program and I accenttally closed the Firefox browser. When I started it back up it said that the default profile is in use and that I need to choose another. I created another but now I cant go back to the default profile. No matter what I do I cant get the prompt back up. Can someone help me out?

Run the command /usr/bin/firefox -profilemanager the profile manager will popup allowing you to choose your old profile.
