Description

[Richard Friedman]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.3b) Gecko/20030210
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.3b) Gecko/20030210

It seems that whenever I switch profiles any changes to the preferences for the
old profile are not saved. 
E.g. start up in profile Fred
change mail preferences to include forwarded mail as inline not attachment.
do stuff
switch profile to Gertrude
do stuff
switch back to Fred
and note that the preference for forwarding is still attachment and not inline.
Same seems to be true for bookmarks.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.see above details
2.
3.



Expected Results:  
Preferences should be saved for the current profile when the preferences dialog
box is closed.

Please read the component descriptions... this has nothing to do with the
preferences window, does it?

And you want to test with at least 1.3final; 1.3b had this issue....

you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
