    • WinXP 64bit; Have Multiple Firefox Profiles, each running multiple tabs & windows, on specific topic/purpose
    • Sometimes these tabs run in hundreds, adding to increased load & exit delay (+ data transfer costs/delay when starting FF )

    .html file is associated with Firefox (Default profile) So opening such file will fire up default profile (with hundreds of tabs, data loading, delay & stuff), which is not good.

    How to associate this file with a specific profile (which is session-less & will fire up quick) ?

    TRIED:

    • In folder options> File Types> HTML > Open Command, tried editing to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -osint -url "%1" -p 8 -no-remote where 8 is the name of needed profile. But still opens with default profile
    • Only option i see without any answers would be to shelve using default profile and keep it for this purpose & do work on other profiles

    EDIT

    just saw something similar Start firefox using Another Profile, for specific file type(s)? 2yr old, please vote up or help guys

    Maybe The Printliminator bookmarklet is all you need? I've never tested it for saving the results though.

    As you also commented you want to edit text: add-ons like Firebug or the built-in Web Inspector in Safari and Chrome do allow for editing on the fly. But it's a but tedious. Save before you start.

    And when saving before you start then maybe using some HTML editor is much easier?

    (For saving, I guess you can use the built-in Save function from your browser, which often has an option to save the complete page. Hopefully that will save the edited version then.)

    I suppose that for Firefox, the Aardvark add-on is a solution:

    Powerful and user-friendly selector utility for selecting elements and doing various actions on them. It can be used for cleaning up a page prior to printing it (by removing and isolating elements), for making the page more readable, and (most appreciated by web developers), for analyzing the structure of a page.
