292075 - improve seamonkey's local profile support

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core Graveyard :: Profile: BackEnd, defect)

Description

[Christian :Biesinger (don't email me, ping me on IRC)]

bug 291033 added the ability to have a "local" profile directory

that directory should be salted, like the normal profile dir
and, for manually created directories in a path outside of application data, the
temp directory should maybe be identical to the profile dir.

FYI, this prevents profile deletion (via Profile Manager) from deleting XUL.mfasl and Cache (assuming the user didn't change their Cache to live inside the salted directory).

The reason is that the profile manager assumes that the directory isn't salted because it isn't the only child of its parent:

AFAIK, this is fixed by using the toolkit code now.
