1234593 - Firefox crash if no profile present after install

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[analyzer]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:33.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/33.0
Build ID: 20141113143407

Steps to reproduce:

First, it is an upgrade with this kind of command line:
"%~dp0Firefox_Setup_39.0.0_(FR).exe" -ms -cleanupOnUpgrade

Then, to keep firefox default browser, another command line:
"%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -silent -setDefaultBrowser


Actual results:

On the second command line, if no profile exists in AppData, Firefox creates the profile and crashes.
C:\Users\CURRENTUSER\AppData\Local
C:\Users\CURRENTUSER\AppData\Roaming

Launch without -silent switch doesnt crash (the switch produces the crash)


Expected results:

No crash

This can be tested easily by removing the 2 folders and starting with -silent switch:
C:\Users\CURRENTUSER\AppData\Local\Mozilla
C:\Users\CURRENTUSER\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla

The version tested is 39, but could be valid with actual version as well

¡Hola!

I do not see "-cleanupOnUpgrade" documented at https://wiki.mozilla.org/Installer:Command_Line_Arguments

Could you please provide samples from about:crashes when this crash occurs?
