7128 - Creating profile named "Default" ineffective

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 6592

(Core Graveyard :: Profile: BackEnd, defect, P3)

Description

[John G. Myers]

Installed fresh build, deleted mozregistry.dat.  Started apprunner, got the
profile wizard.  Created a profile, naming it "Default".  Apprunner exited.
Started apprunner again, got the profile wizard again.

We are creating a profile named 'default' by default which we will get rid of
this behavior pretty soon and create a single, real profile. Also, the registry
seems to be operating in a case insensitive mode. In your case, it should have
ideally created a profile named 'Default'.

Bug# 7132 is partially responsible for this behavior. Profile 'Default' should
be treated differently from the default profile 'default'. However, this whole
default behavior will be fixed soon.

case insensitivity of the libreg routines is causing this problem. Rename
suffers from the same issue. So, I'm marking this duplicate of bug #6592 (rename
bug) and we will see how Bug #7132 will be solved to avoid side effects like
this.
