What is the actual problem here, it isn't clear how to reproduce this.
It's that it quits on start, which makes it hard to use to nail down regression dates.
I may have deleted an extra profile from the previous time I'd tried Nightly.

Ok, but you mention a missing profile, what do you mean by that?
Without clear steps to reproduce we can't proceed here.
I guess (1) use Nightly, (2) delete Nightly and delete extra profile, (3) reinstall Nightly, (4) start Nightly.
