When you try to create new profile (using wizard) with name that already exists Sunbird wants you to change name. However you can do it by changing name when profile already exists.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. create profile1 (use sunbird -profilemanager)
2. create another profile, try to use the same name: profile1
   -> Sunbird says: Profile with this name already exists. Please choose another name.
3. use name profile2, press finish on profile wizard
   -> profile manager contains at least two profiles: profile1 and profile2
4. select profile2 and press "rename profile"
5. type profile1, click OK
   -> you have two profiles with the same name
Actual Results:  
two profiles with the same name

Expected Results:  
at least alert (or similar to wizard)

it is not problem to have two the same profiles... unless you want to delete first and be sure that you will not delete second one :)

This isn't sunbird specific code.  Over to Firefox for visibility on the profile manager stuff.

This is no longer valid with FF 3.1b3
profile manager does not let you type in a duplicate name - Finish button is not offered.

Wayne Mery, does your "Finish button is not offered" mean "grayed out" when *CREATION* of new profile? Or "Finish button doesn't exist" when *RENAME* of existent profile?

Following is profiles.ini content after creation of ABC & DEF, followed by *RENAME* of DEF to ABC.
> [Profile4]
> Name=ABC
> IsRelative=1
> Path=Profiles/hhojpu4b.ABC
> [Profile5]
> Name=ABC
> IsRelative=1
> Path=Profiles/bcfi1d2o.DEF

Your test in comment 6 is correct.  Finish is greyed out for CREATION.
