128202 - No way to migrate from partially broken Mozilla profiles

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 63918

(MailNews Core :: Profile Migration, defect)

Description

[u32858]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.8) Gecko/20020205
BuildID:    2002020511

my hd crashed, i had great trouble setting up the same profile agian. I had to
specifiy all dirs, then exit, go back and manually copy different files between
the 2 dirs to get it to work.

If there was a profile wizard option to "restore as much as possible" this would
be very useful, I cant think i am the only one in this position.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.turn you pc off at the wall
2.try and get mozilla to use a broken profile
3.have some fun for 30mins or so

Actual Results:  had to manuaally change files
local folders was called local folders-2 and the same for my other dirs
had to configure that again in the Mail account options. 

I feature like this would really be very useful. I put this as Normal bug level
as I lost data when this happend.
