when i convert profiles from Netscpae to Mozilla it installs it into the default
path of c:\doc n sett\username\appdata\mozilla\...
even if my original profile was on d:\data\netscape...

Can this be changed so that in the process of converting it asks where to store
the converted profiles. This would allow ppl to decide where they want their
profiles. You can have the default path come up but give the option to change.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.load older netscape and create an email profile and some bookmarks in communicator
2. make sure profiles are saved to D:\data
3. install mozilla and convert profiles.
4. mozilla profile is now in default directory instead of d:\data

Actual Results:  
netscape profile on C, mozilla on D

Expected Results:  
I would have preferred to have been asked where the converted profiles were to
be saved, that way i could have chosen d:\data\mozilla\username\random
string\... Or wherever i wanted the profile saved.
