238938 - Migrator doesn't state source of profile list

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Firefox :: Migration, defect)

Description

[James Ross]

It's not like I expected anything swish and easy to use but, it was, frankly,
shocking. By far the biggest problem though, was the complete lack of indication
about *where* this misterious list of profiles had come from.

Saying "Select Netscape 6, 7 or Mozilla 1.x Profile" instead of just "Select
Profile" would be so much better.

The first-run migrator. It just listed profiles, with no hint where they came from.

highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce

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
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
