If you have a lot of profiles (13+) so that the scrollbar appear in the Available Profiles list, and you create a new profile mozilla selects this newly created profile but doesn't scroll the Available Profile list to it, making it impossible to see which profile that's actually selected.

The same is true after renaming/deleting a profile

I am setting platform to all because this happens with win98 too..
Adding Todd Eyes... :-) because this affects usability / interface...

Marcio, agreed this is a bad problem for usability that we should eventually fix, however the number of users with 13+ profiles is very small (probably all work in this building!), so it is unlikely we will fix this in 6.1.
I agree Todd! Will not cause users to be mad with the product. Even if the focus/scroll is not properly set, the user is still able to find the profile.
when creating profiles it works. It's done with the: profileTree.selectItem( item ); profileTree.ensureElementIsVisible( item ); but I'm not sure how to include those when deleting/renaming. Btw: happens when having more than 5 profiles not 13.

I don't understand how you run into the problem when renaming or deleting a profile. The item stays selected after renaming, and the tree doesn't scroll back up...likewise, when deleting, the previous item gets selected but the tree doesn't scroll back up.
