296881 - Deleting a profile should use trash/recycle bin

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 18927

(Toolkit :: Startup and Profile System, enhancement)

Description

[Sören 'Chucker' Kuklau (gone)]

When deleting a profile using the Profile Manager, a dialog appears asking
whether to delete data (e.g. bookmarks) as well. While the dialog specifically
points out the path to the user, this is usually rather meaningless information
especially because it includes a mangled string for security. The user may not
be entirely sure whether some of the data is vital, and -- for whatever reason
-- non-Firefox-related data may be in the path's directory or subdirectories
thereof.

The dialog should therefore merely ask whether to leave the data untouched or to
move it to the trash (recycle bin, wastebasket, etc.) for later review by the
user, preventing possible dataloss.
