For Linux and Mac OS X users
Open a 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/Utilities folder and choose "Terminal". Enter the path to the application, then a space, followed by a hypen (-) and the command-line argument. For example, to start the Firefox with the Profile Manager on Mac OS X, you would enter the following:
/Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox -ProfileManager
On some Mac versions (needs clarification), this command looks like
/Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox-bin -ProfileManager
