Details

Several places use a recursive file delete inappropriately, leading to potentially horrible dataloss when combined with other bugs (e.g. bug 259708). Too bad nsIFile is frozen, if not we could change Remove() to take another value than true/false, such as #define RECURSIVE 666 http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/search?string=Remove(PR_TRUE) A couple of those a legit, but most are problems waiting to happen.
