Details

If you delete a profile from about:profiles then it deletes the current selectable profile's directory for that profile. It doesn't delete the profile database nor does it delete any of the other profiles that may be associated with it.

I think in this case we should probably ask if the user wants to delete all the other profiles or switch to a different one. Or maybe we just disable the delete functionality in the case that the toolkit profile has a storeID?
