184247 - trying to install an extension (Linky, Mouse Gestures, Radial Gestures, etc.) leads to a permanently locked profile

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Brian Kennedy]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3; Linux)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.3a) Gecko/20021207 Phoenix/0.5

Whenever I try to install an extension, the install process works fine. But 
when I exit the browser and try to get back in, it insists that the profile I 
installed from is in use. Once this happens, the profile is unusable, even 
after logout / reboot / manually deleting the "lock" file in .phoenix 
directory. This has been a problem in both 0.4 and 0.5. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open tools -> prefs -> themes and extensions 
2.Goto "Get New Extensions" 
3.Install an extension 
4.Exit browser 
5.Launch browser again 
Actual Results:  
Insists that profile is in use.  

Expected Results:  
Open broswer with correct profile. 

This happens with the plain vanilla download of Phoenix.
