243860 - Profile migration completely busted if only a "phoenix" profile exists

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: Migration, defect)

Description

[Martin Creutziger [:MMx]]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040514 Firefox/0.8.0+ (MMx2000)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040514 Firefox/0.8.0+ (MMx2000)

If there exists only a "phoenix" (->Fx0.8) profile for a user, the first-run
Migration Manager does not work. If e.g. a "mozilla" profile exists, everything
works fine. (Phoenix profile gets migrated)

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. use a fresh user (no browser profiles)
2. launch Fx0.8, let it create profile, close
3. launch recent nighty

Actual Results:  
an unusable Migration Manager window appears, "Next" does not work, no selection
possible in checkboxes
Only "esc" helps to get rid of it (OS X)
profile is *not* converted. A fresh profile is created.

Expected Results:  
migrate the "phoenix" profile without any hassle

Bug 238056 might be related to that

selecting "platform: all" and "OS: all" because of bug mentioned above.

This is how the migration manager looks like if *only* the "phoenix" profile is
present

This is how it looks if also a Mozilla profile is present

I can't reproduce this (logging on as user who has never used this PC before):

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040601 Firefox/0.8.0+

wasn't this fixed on 0.9.1 (or later branch) ?

Still an issue?

no updates in a month, I'm pretty sure we fixed these dialogs already.
