387045 - clean up the base_profile in talos.

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Release Engineering :: General, defect)

Description

[alice nodelman [:alice] [:anode]]

Nothing in the base_profile directory is needed to run talos other than localstore.rdf (which sets the browser size and location).  Everything else should be removed so that the browser being tested can create its own profile information as needed.

There's something in the base_profile dir that Firefox doesn't like on mac, but it looks like we're fine if we keep only localstore.rdf and let the browser generate everything else on first launch.

The following files need removed from base_profile/ (ie, anything that isn't localstore.rdf):

The files have been cvs removed. See bug 387589 for the removal of the two now-empty directories in base_profile, which will be done by IT.
