25985 - Profile Manager doesn't display profiles after exit.

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 24911

(SeaMonkey :: Startup & Profiles, defect, P3)

Description

[laurel]

Using 2000-01-31-11m14 commercial build on NT 4.0

The profile manager dialog is not displaying profile names, except when they
have just been created within that profile manager session.  Once you exit the
profile manager and start the Profile Manager again, the list is gone.  

Steps to reproduce:

1.  Delete mozregistry.dat and any User50 files.
2.  Launch mozilla -ProfileManager.
    Click new profile button, give the profile a name, confirm Finish.
    New profile name is displayed in Profile Manager dialog.
3.  Click Exit to exit profile manager dialog.
4.  Launch mozilla -ProfileManager again and again create a new profile with a
different name than the one created in step 2.  Confirm Finish.
    Both profile names are listed in Profile Manager dialog.
5.  Exit and relaunch mozilla -ProfileManager.

Actual result:  profile manager dialog has a blank list.  
Expected result:  profile manager dialog should have two entries.

Note1:  This same thing happens if you launch mozilla the first time through
-installer, -mail or just mozilla(browser) and let a default profile be created.

Note2:  Launching mozilla -mail will pick up the profile list, whereas
-ProfileManager does not.

Summary:  The profile manager is like a box of chocolates -- you never know what
you're gonna get.
