1016864 - CrashMonitor creates a "metro" directory in the profile even in builds without metro e.g. on OS X

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 995310

(Toolkit :: General, defect)

Description

[Matthew N. [:MattN]]

I created a new test profile on OS X and saw a "metro" directory was created in my profile which is weird since metro doesn't run on OS X. The code to create the directory should probably only run in metro-enabled builds to avoid cluttering the profile folder.

Caused by http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/c0ea0b4d69f7#l1.29

Nominating for tracking so others can decide whether we want to allow this to get released and create a now unused profile folder for every user. It's not really going to do much harm but it will remain there forever unless we do explicit cleanup in the future.

Created a similar issue in Bug # 995310 when testing the removal of metrofx.

It looks like this can be duped to bug 995310 - definitely too late to change anything in FF30 because we are building our final Beta today, but I will track bug 995310 for 31/32 in order to see this cleanup happen now while it's still fresh in our minds.  Thanks for flagging.
