307951 - wrong errormessage when renaming profile-folder

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 278860

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Andreas Morawietz]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050907 Firefox/1.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050907 Firefox/1.4

If I rename my profile-folder "ijaeqqdu.default" into something like
"ijaeqqdu.defau" or anything else and start firefox after that, 
a confusing errormessage appears:

"Firefox is already running, but not responding. To open a new window, you must
first close the existing firefox process, or restart your system"

But firefox wasn't running before starting!
This message is wrong and should be changed into something like:

"Could not find your profile. Would you like to create a new profile?"

If there are some other profiles available, the message could be like that:

"Could not find your profile. Would you like to select another profile or create
a new one?"





Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. rename your profile folder into something else
2. start FF 
3. a confusing message appears

This is essentially the same as bug 278860.
