388266 - Error when creating profile with polish characters in 2.0.0.5

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Core Graveyard :: Profile: BackEnd, defect)

Description

[Al Billings [:abillings - ex-MoCo]]

If I try to create a new profile in the profile manager for a pl localized Firefox 2.0.0.5 build, I receive an error stating:

[Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80520012 (NS_ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND) [nsIToolkitProfileService.createProfile]" nresult: "0x80520012 (NS_ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND)"
location: "JS frame :: chrome://mozapps/content/profile/createProfileWizard.js :: onFinish :: line 233" data: no]

If this error is dismissed, the profile can then be created and shows up in the profile wizard.

See attachment for screenshot of error.

Steps to Reproduce
1. Launch firefox with profile manager.
2. Create a new profile with a name with polish characters, such as "Domyślny użytkownik"
3. Submit the profile name

Result: Error message about creating the directory.

I think I remember you saying that this was not a recent regression on IRC, that this has happened since 2.0 or since 1.5. Am I remembering correctly?

This might be Windows only, as it WFMs on the Mac:

Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X; pl; rv:1.8.1.5) Gecko/2007071317 Firefox/2.0.0.5

Al: this might depend on Windows locale. You were using en-US Windows with pl Firefox, weren't you?

I can confirm this bug on Windows XP en-US. Al: Did you use the same language version of Windows XP? (I think it is important.)

Comment 6

[Hubert Gajewski]

I can confirm the same on Windows XP en-US with Japanese version of Firefox.
I entered Japanese name for new profile: デフォルトのユーザー and I got the same error.

This is encoding differences with Windows and Firefox versions.

Can't confirm on Windows XP SP2 pl and Fx 2.0.0.5 pl.

I was using en-us Windows with pl Firefox.

I get this in Thunderbird too, I noticed today with 2.0.0.5 testing.

(In reply to comment #2)

I can't confirm this issue on Windows XP en-US with Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; pl-PL; rv:1.7.13) Gecko/20060410 Firefox/1.0.8

I created a new profile with a name: "Domyślny użytkownik". Firefox created a directory with a name: "b0py6bng.Domyslny uzytkownik" ("ś" was changed to "s").

The profile can still be created, you just get the error first.

I was using "pl" and not "pl-PL" builds. It may make a difference.

Comment 13

[Marek Stępień [:marcoos, inactive]]

Al: pl-PL is the old-style language code, no longer used in 1.8-based builds.

Comment 14

[Al Billings [:abillings - ex-MoCo]]

I'm not using pl-PL, as I said.

Phenomenon when trunk seems to be different. See Bug 390127.

This bug is filed in a bugzilla component related to pre-Firefox code which no longer exists. I believe it is no longer relevant and I am therefore closing it INCOMPLETE.

If you believe that this bug is still valid and needs to be fixed, please reopen it and move it to the Toolkit:Startup and Profile System product/component.
