Details

Once it becomes possible for multiple Firefox instances to write to profiles.ini (bug 1893687), it is possible that a new instance will be launched, and attempt to read profiles.ini, while another instance is writing to it.

Once we determine how we will implement profiles.ini write locking [bug XXXXXXX], we will need to figure out how to update nsAppStartup::SelectProfile and nsToolkitProfileService::SelectStartupProfile to handle the case where profiles.ini is being written.

It's possible we already gracefully handle a locked or unavailable profiles.ini today--we'll need to do some research to check.
