For Windows users
- Go to "Start -> Run" and entering the what you wish to execute with the switch. For example,
"C:\Program Files\Mozilla\Mozilla.exe" -ProfileManager
(with the quotation marks).
- You may also create a shortcut on your Desktop or wherever you like to make this less tedious. Right click on an open space. Choose New -> Shortcut. Follow the wizard in creating a new shortcut. When it prompts you for location (not name), type what you want to execute. For an example, see above.
For Linux and Mac OS X users
- Go to your Terminal window and type what you want to execute. On Linux, the shortcuts to your Terminal window will vary in location depending on your desktop environment. On Mac OS X go to your Applications folder and choose "Terminal".
