Description

[shrirang khanzode]

Using today's commercial build (1999-11-10-08-M12) on Linux , try the following:

1. Install the build.
2. Launch the browser using 'mozilla -installer'command
3. Observe that the Profile Manager Window opens up.
4. Click on the "New" button to create a new profile.
5. Create a new profile and press the "Finish" button.
6. Observe that the ProfileManager window closes and the browser closes too.
7. Restarting the browser lists the newly created profile.

Also, trying to rename a profile and deleting a profile closes the browser.

I'm thinking that this change looks like an affect of any changes to
Webshell. Accepting the bug.

this doesn't seem like a blocker, and i can't reproduce in the mozilla builds
from this morning.

I was and am  able to reproduce on the Linux build and it has to be using
./mozilla -installer

I'm not seeing this on linux, but I just rebuilt with the fix from waterson for
bug #18464

calling gbush now to see if I really understand what the bug is.

yes, I think this is a duplicate.

the nightly build has this problem, but the respin I did locally with waterson
fix makes this problem go away.

marking a duplicate.
