247779 - Exit and Start Firefox buttons disappear after creating very first profile

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 248648

(Toolkit :: Startup and Profile System, defect)

Description

[Jonathan Watt [:jwatt]]

I tested firefox 0.9 without an initial profile, and used the Choose User
Profile dialogue that subsequently showed to create the first profile. Once I
had finished creating this profile the Exit and Start Firefox buttons
disapeared. This did not happen when I restarted and created a second and third
profile. This happens consistantly for me. After creating the first profile
firefox can still be started by double clicking on the profile name, but this
problem will likely confuse the average user. 

I should say that I was using the SVG enabled milestone build uploaded to

http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/0.9/contrib/firefox-0.9-win32-svg-GDI.zip

but since the only difference between it and the official milestone is the use
of --enable-svg and --enable-svg-renderer-gdiplus, this problem will almost
certainly be present for the official milestone.

Actually I wasn't quite right. The SVG enabled build doesn't use
--enable-codesighs and --enable-official-branding when the official build does,
and it does use --enable-strip and --enable-plaintext-editor-only when the
official milestone doesn't.

Someone with a none-SVG build of Firefox confirmed this for me (I forget who)
but I forgot to mark the bug as NEW.

maybe dupe of Bug 248648 and bug 273415.

This has the same root cause as 248648, and roc fixed it recently.
