    # Firefox Multifix
    #
    # Run this bash script from within the folder that contains your Firefox apps,
    # and every Firefox app in the current folder will be modified to automatically
    # launch using a version-named profile. For example, "Firefox 2.0.app" will use
    # the "Firefox 2.0" profile, etc.
    #
    # Usage:
