I know.  Launching firefox witht he -p switch will create a new
profile.  I just wanted to be specific and say that I didn't want
this.

Yep, I'm aware of this too.    I don't really want to do that
either....just want to disable it once.


Hopefully that info is stored in a file that I can delete with a
script that then calls firefox.  The teacher can excecutel that
instead with FL_TT.

Thanks,
Peter
