This works .. partially and not up to the point I need:
~$ /var/mozilla/thunderbirdEN/thunderbird -P 2011_april -no-remote =

-purgecaches -console2 -venkman -silent
Warning: unrecognized command line flag -purgecaches

using that command the console2 opens, but NOT Venkman. Both are =

installed to the named profile (parameter needs to be -P / uppercase).
With the command to the console
openDialog('chrome://messenger/content', '', 'all,dialog=3Dno');
TB opens.

My request to enable the Venkman Profiling at *startup* doesn't work =

with this approach.
Any other idea .. is there a startup parameter for Venkman profiling at =

all?
*RFE* Any idea how it's possible to modify it that way?
