Details

The "Confirm Migration" dialog that appear if you start Mozilla for the first 
time a having one Netscape 4.x profile, clearly needs a better UI.

Problems:
1) What about a "Welcome to Mozilla" text?
2) The word "Profiles". The users might not have any idea what a profile is?
3) Should state the name of the profile it's gonna copy

A much better solution was is the Select User Profile dialog started and then 
the "Confirm Migration" started "ontop" on this profile.
This is actually the Profile Manager generating these dialogs.  The migration 
code only generates the progress dialog and the out of space dialog.

A front-end issue. I will give this one to Ben. This is a polish kind of bug
that needs to be fixed, if the bandwindth is available.

I really think this process is confusing.  When a user starts up mozilla after 
using the installer I think it should mark somehow the profiles that have not 
been migrated.  I thought that my profiles were being automatically migrated or 
maybe not deleted from my previous install (ran into this confusion while 
smoketesting).  I think it will confude new users.
There should also be an easy way to create a fresh profile.
Buttons cannot be seen properly in win32 builds, thought it was a temporary
regresion, but has been going on for a while. Only top half of migration "box"
visible. This causes great difficulty in using the confirm migration utility. 
Bug 81153 is a duplicate of this one, or vice versa.
