248986 - Deleted profiles not removed from profile list

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Brian Kerley]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040617 Firefox/0.9
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040617 Firefox/0.9

After a profile has been deleted, the files are removed, but the name still
exists in the profile list on startup

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Create a profile
2.  Delete a profile and select, "Delete All Files"
3.  Restart Firefox

Actual Results:  
The deleted profile is still in the list

Expected Results:  
The deleted profile should no longer be in the list

I looked into it, and it appears as if the profiles.ini file in
~/.mozilla/firefox/ is not being updated.  I deleted the entries from there and
they no longer showed up in the profile list.  The files that were supposed to
be delted were deleted automatically by the profile manager though.

duplicate of 245053?

No, this is not a duplicate (or so I don't think).  It doesn't crash on delete.
It just doesn't remove the item from the profile list.

Well, I specified Linux, so it may work in Windows, I don't know.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
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
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
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.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
