53637 - If CreateDefaultProfile fails, the app quits silently on startup

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 19434

(SeaMonkey :: Startup & Profiles, defect, P3)

Description

[rubydoo123]

Mozilla is simply quitting on launch, when I try to run it under Mac OS X (in 
the Blue Box).
Some debugging shows that the profile->StartupWithArgs returns an error, because 
CreateDefault profile fails.

You need to show an error dialog of some kind if this sort of failure occurs. I 
already reported this kind of bug on profile, and now it's reared it's head 
again.

Not a migration bug.  Reassigning to Profile Manager.

Doing a mass reassign to Conrad Carlen.

Conrad is going address all current and upcoming profile manager issues. Please
do not hesitate to involve me in any of the issues.

Will look at it when I get an OS X installation. First of all, what's causing
CreateDefaultProfile needs to be dealt with. The fact that it quits silently if
StartupWithArgs returns an error is bug 19434.
