166046 - Profile manager front-end UI broken

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 165199

(SeaMonkey :: Startup & Profiles, defect)

Description

[Bill Mason]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.1) Gecko/20020826
Build Identifier: ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/nightly/2002-09-01-04-trunk/

I uninstalled my previous build and installed this one, and cannot start Mozilla
because the Profile Manager front-end UI has broken.  All I get is a box with
the introductory text about what the Profile Manager is for/does.  There are no
profiles to select from, no other buttons.  The only available option is the
upper-right "X" to close the program.

I uninstalled and reinstalled the 1.1 Final and the problem disappeared.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Uninstall previous version, which already has several profiles.
2. Install new nightly build.
3. Start program.

Actual Results:  
Profile Manager comes up with broken UI.

Expected Results:  
Profile Manager works as usual.

Just as an aside, I did search for dups and I'd love to know what words in the
summary of either bug you think the average user is going to look for that would
have helped.  Especially since neither summary describes the situation I was
presented with.

I appreciate that a lot of dups get filed, but show some courtesy.
