25571 - [PP]Creating 2nd profile with same name does not give me warning

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 26265

(Core Graveyard :: Profile: BackEnd, defect, P3)

Description

[Grace Bush]

Steps to reproduce:
1. create mozProfile on build 2000012808 (after removing registry and old 
profiel folder)
2. create mozProfile on same build -
actual result: pressing finish key on wizard screen does nothing- 2nd profile is 
not created 

expected result: warning that a profile with that name already exists.

Is this actually Mac-specific?

Mac specific- Linux and Win display boxes with appropriate warning messages

Looking into the CreateProfileWizard.js, I realized that the backend code is 
passing the right value saying that this profile exists. It is the 
bundle.GetStringFromName() that is failing to put up the message via alert box. 
It's surprising that this happens only mac. Anyway, if we can't figure out why
StringBundle is bailing out on Mac, we should simply boil down to an alert box 
to put up the failure message. Assigning this to Ben.

oh! so this is related to the stringbundle/mac thing. OK. I wish like hell we 
had a js console that ran all the time, it'd make figuring out these things on 
Mac (and now on Windows) MUCH easier. Of course, that's actually assigned to me, 
so heh. 

I'll dupe this of 26265, since it has a nice generic title "Profile Manager 
fails...", as this is actually the same problem, affecting different parts of 
the profile manager (not the same window, but the same principle, string bundle 
loading error). 26265 is dependant on 26291

checked in a hack fix for this one.
