1270615 - Firefox refresh does not set the newly created profile as the default

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1122124

(Firefox :: Migration, defect)

Description

[:Gijs (out for now; he/him)]

STR:

1. open Firefox with profile manager (-P)
2. create a profile
3. start with that profile
4. open about:support
5. click 'refresh firefox', and click through the dialogs that follow, restore your tabs when asked.
6. exit Firefox

ER:
the newly-created default-yada-yada profile is selected if you now start the profile manager (it's the default) and has the Default=1 annotation in profiles.ini

AR:
neither of the above is actually the case

Panos, it seems that this got broken with the split between selectedprofile and defaultprofile when implementing a separate profile for devedition. It also seems like Fx reset/refresh code is currently the only consumer of the setselectedprofile method on the profile manager ( https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/search?q=setselectedprofile&=mozilla-central&redirect=true ) though I guess there's some stuff in the profile manager itself as well ( https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/search?q=%22selectedProfile%20%3D&=mozilla-central&redirect=true ).

Can you clarify how this is supposed to work?
