195631 - Profile not retrieved at start (expansion of bug 195442)

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 195442

(SeaMonkey :: Startup & Profiles, defect)

Description

[Joop Klijn]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130

Further to bug 195442:

This is a summary of the steps I have to take (each time!) to get Mozilla started:

Action                   
- doubble-click icon, results in: 'convert profile/manage profile' selection screen
- select 'manage profile', results in screen in which NO available profile is
offered
- select 'create profile', results in intermediate explanatory screen
- select 'next', results in screen in which 'default user' is offered as name
for profile
- select 'finish', results in screen in which now default user is offered as
available profile
- click 'start Mozilla

If I set preferences, and subsequently close Mozilla, I have to go through the
very same steps again.

The result is a working browser, which DOES remember the preference set in
previous session, EXCEPT that it does NOT come in the selected language (if
downloaded and set in previous session).

There is a way to force Mozilla to use the selected language, i.e. delete the
English language ans leave selected language as only available.

Next time I have to go through all steps again, which are now in the selected
language.
However the resulting browser has forgotten all other previous settings


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.See details above
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
See details above

Expected Results:  
Start up Mozilla with maximum of two commands, in selected language, and with
all preferences as set in previous sessions.
