111591 - can't use same profile for windows and unix same time becouse of full pathnames specified

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 12911

(Core Graveyard :: Profile: BackEnd, defect)

Description

[Malx]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i386; en-US; rv:0.9.5+) Gecko/20011009
BuildID:    2001100906

look in "prefs.js" and you see hardcoded directory pathes.
It prevents from using same profile (actually mail and news)
both for win and unix. (HDD is accessible from both win and unix).
Also It could be hard to use this , if you remotely mount you profile
to different directory.

 Solution - there must be used local path if mail and news are part
of profile directory structure (and / slashes). And only if Mail/News are stored
separately, it could use absolute path to dir.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.create profile in win
2.make mail accounts
3.go to win
4. start mail (it wil create acc-name-2 folders)
5. go to unix and see windows pathes inside prefs.js
