this works ok for me. ben?
I can't choose a different folder either. I click on the button and nothing happens. I'm using winNT build 2000041205.

WinNT build 2000-04-12-06 - press custom folder, nothing happens Linux build 2000-04-11-09 - press custom folder, choose folder, profile still stored in ~/.mozilla Mac build 2000-04-11-08 -press custom folder, choose folder, profile still stored in Documents/Users50

win build 200-04-26-11 and linux mozilla build 2000-04-26-08- this feature is still not working. (no good Mac build to test on today) I can choose custom folder on these platforms but the profile is still stored in default folder (users50 on win and /.mozilla on linux

reassigning to ben... the file picker(s) choose the directory... if that isn't getting pass along to whoever writes the profile then someone needs to fix it.

nope, not working, using 5/10 builds- you can choose a folder- but the profile is still stored in default per platform (users50 on win/documents on mac/./mozilla on Linux On Linux, the choose folder dialog does not work as before- ie directory structure for browsing not shown. Of all things beta users like to do it seems - control profile storage is #1- see bug 27573 when this feature was crashing- many dupes reported

Putting on [nsbeta2+] radar for beta2 fix.

Move to M18 target milestone.
Target Milestone: M17 → M18
Everything here now worksforme (with fix for profile being created in default dir bug) The linux file picker is really quirky, but there are most likely bugs on that already in trudelle's group. I was able to pick where the profile was created and have that be reflected in the UI.

See also bug 42392- crashing on Win (profile in custom folder)- found testing bug 32808 - similar to this I am able to choose custom folder but that is not reflected on Win UI When I first see UI, default path shows after pressing choose folder, default path disappears and after selecting new path, the new path does not display on the UI
Removing "nsbeta2+" for reconsideration. The "regression" has been fixed. It's just a display problem now. Nominationg for beta 3.
