Changes have been proposed to change the profile wizard UI.
All the mailnews preferences will be collected via Mail Account Wizard.
In fact we can turn off all those screens in the wake of above
change and move the target milestone M8.

Current Wizard app has just 1 screen to collect minimal information. Other
information will be collected based on the new UI which is scheduled to M8.
Moving TFV to M8.

Not collecting any mail/news info. MailNews account wizard will be doing that.
Profile wizard now has only one page that collects the information from the user
and all that information is stored in the registry. Marking this bug invalid.
