Referring to 265412, Firefox Version 1.0PR

I agree for items 2 and 3.
But for subject 1) it is  A REAL BIG BUG when Firefox does not find its proper
profile. It is big enough for selecting a different browser if it is not fixed
on long terms.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.see description of report 265412
2.
3.



Expected Results:  
Under all circumstances Firefox MUST FIND its related profile no matter 
how it has been started.
If it doesn't then this may represent a severe security problem.
(Depending how strict the default profile is. Currently updating, and
downloading software and storing cookies is allowed by default for any server,
which is a wrong selected default in my opinion)

Please reconsider subject 1 of the original report 265412.
I have opened a new report because 
a) I DO NOT AGREE regarding subject 1.
   (Subject 2 and 3 was additional input for your sake; and i agree about it)
b) There is no veto against report closure in Bugzilla.

Please do consider the input of people that have really taken care of
observing in a detailed way your product and trying to find subjects
that are not so well solved in order to improve the overall product.

If the owner of the module you're filing bugs against tells you it's not a bug,
then it's not a bug.  Don't open new bugs to re-argue an issue.

At the very least, if you think you have a valid point to make, leave a comment
in the original bug.  Don't disconnect the thread by opening new bugs.
