soo.. i've downloaded mozilla 1.6 final , a german version , in a zip file.
i have unzipped it into a directory (G:\Programme\Mozilla\) so in this folder is
the mozilla.exe too. if i now start mozilla it will ask for creating a new user
profile (i think i should be like this, don't it?!). then i create a new profile
and start mozilla (profile path = G:\Programme\Mozilla\myprofile). mozilla works
well :)) . after a time i'll close mozilla, it works well too ;). it saves the
data in my profile folder too. i think: perfect ;) it works :). but then, whenm
i start mozilla the second time, theres no profile in the list and i've got to
create a new account. but the old data of my old account still exists. but i
cant tell it to use it... so i wanna ask if it is a bug, or if i can completely
disable the profile manager, cause i'm the only user on this PC ^^ ....
thank you for your consideration

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. start mozille
2. create profile
3. start the browser

Actual Results:  
it asks for creating a new profile... but when i go to the directory with the
win explorer , the folder and files in it still exist... it's only  not in the
profiles list at mozillas startup

Expected Results:  
this questionaire sucks hard ;) ... so ok , i'll answer it too ;)
it should show my profile in the list
