Moving to M12, move it back if you've got it done already.

There is code in the profile manager JS file you can steal for this.

steve, I need a way to grab the last opened profile. This requires a back end 
link to the profile registry. I cannot store this value in prefs. Is there 
something in the back end I can use for this?

Ben, the old XUL used to do this.  There is an entry point in the profile 
manager to get this info.  You could probably also get it from the mozregistry 
datasource, but I wouldn't recommend that approach.  Bhuvan can tell you the 
exact routine to call.

the call you want is really not a call.

you want the currentProfile (a read only attribute of nsIProfile)

from js, it would be something like this:

foo = profile.currentProfile;

it looks like someone is attempting to use this in profileSelection.js

look at nsIProfile.idl for the other methods/attributes to the backend.
