207412 - Mozilla on OS X will not use profile stored on remote NFS filesystem

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 196487

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Dave Carlson]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030516 Mozilla Firebird/0.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030507

When starting mozilla with a remote home directory, it will display the profile
selection window.  After choosing 'default', and clicking 'Start Mozilla', it
stops with the error message "Component returned failure code: 0x80004005
(NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nslProfileInternal.currentProfile].  Profiles stored on HFS+
work fine.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
<setup> Use a NFS-mount home directory for a user in OS X
1. Run mozilla (it will display the profile selection window)
2. Select 'default', and click 'Start Mozilla'


Actual Results:  
Stops with the error message "Component returned failure code: 0x80004005
(NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nslProfileInternal.currentProfile].

Expected Results:  
The selection window shouldn't have been brought up - it should honor the
profile already stored in the NFS home directory (worked on previous versions,
incl. Netscape 7.02)

Running latest OS X, with network home directories.
