Probably this is proper fix

This is not correct. The call to XRE_LockProfileDirectory does not *set* the profile directory. What sets the profile directory is the application directory provider. nsXREDirProvider should ask the application directory provider for the profile directories before using the builtin ones... or perhaps ask once and cache it in the members it uses internally.

Attachment: Request mProfileDir from external dirProvider

This is attempt to request mProfileDir from external dirService provider.

Maybe instead !strcmp(aKey, NS_*_PROFILE_*_DIR)
better to compare key with "Prof*"

1) you don't need to QI to nsIDirectoryServiceProvider2, just nsIDirectoryServiceProvider
2) Please assert that, if GetFile succeeded, "per" is true... if we can't persist the profile directory, all sorts of bad things could happen.
