Putting on [nsbeta2+][6/01] radar.  This work must be done by 06/01 or we may 
pull this for PR2.

Comment 2

[leger]

Changing from [06/01] to [06/15]

Comment 3

[don]

Move to M19.

bryner tells me this is failing because of something to do with hidden window 
initialization coming after the profile step, and commondialogs relying on 
hidden window, and ensuing train wreck. cc'ing rjc. 

Comment 5

[Robert John Churchill]

(Historical info follows:]  Among other things, creating the hidden window 
causes bookmarks to be read in.  To read in the bookmarks, you have to know 
which profile is active.

some investigation shows that this bug was introduced in part by warren's 
checkin to nsNetSupportDialog.cpp on May 15. Giving the bug to him ;)

You're going to have to give me more to go on than that.

failing on Linux M16 branch - 2000-06-07-13M16

if this is a string bundle problem, it is probably fixed on the tip.

(I recently remove profileManager.properties from the tip of the ns tree.)

I did not remove it from the m16 branch of the ns tree.

I can easily do that, just let me know.

release noted

Comment 18

[Ben Goodger (use ben at mozilla dot org for email)]

what's the status here, is this working on the tip? if so, I can close this bug. 

Comment 19

[(not reading, please use [e-mail] instead)]

this is fixed on the tip.  last week, I removed profileManager.properties, so
there are no more string bundle errors.

marking fixed.

Not working again in build 2000061312 on Win98.
I'm not getting a crash just:
*** newName = ||
in the console.

Comment 21

[Ben Goodger (use ben at mozilla dot org for email)]

I think the nightly you have may be based on the M16 branch rather than the tip, 
as the profileManager.js file in it is out of date, compared with the file in 
CVS (see 
lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/profile/resources/content/profileManager.js)

re-closing. 

Comment 22

[(not reading, please use [e-mail] instead)]

yes, this would be fixed on the tip only, not on a m16 build.

Comment 23

[Grace Bush]

fixed in M17 builds for 2000614- all platforms
