Hang on for a moment. I've not tested this in Netscape, but in
Mozilla 0.9.3 (which is the latest stable release), the command
mozilla -P profilename
starts the browser without prompting for a profile. This should solve
the described problem, yes ?
I am making the less-than-ideal assumption here that a visually impaired
user is not sharing her/his machine with too many other people in the
same situation, and in such a case defaulting the profile with -P should
work.
