81155 - `Migrate Profile' dialog should not exist

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Core Graveyard :: Profile: Migration, defect)

Description

[Matthew T (active 1999-2002)]

Build: 2001051504, Mac OS 9.1

To reproduce:
*   Open the Profile Manager.
*   Select an unmigrated profile from 4.x, and click `Start Mozilla'.

What should happen:
*   Mozilla starts.

What happens:
*   You get presented with a dialog asking whether you want to copy and convert
    this profile to use in Mozilla. Well, duh ... If I didn't want to use this
    profile in Mozilla, I wouldn't have selected it. :-)

I disagree. I might not have realized that this is a profile from 4.x rather
than Mozilla. To me, there is just a profile named "ben" with a funny icon, but
it contains the age-old cruft which I don't want to have in Mozilla anymore. I
might not want to see that profile in Mozilla *at all*, and automatically
migratign it just because I made a wrong click is not what I want.

Proposing WONTFIX.

This bug is targeted at a Mac classic platform/OS, which is no longer supported
by mozilla.org. Please re-target it to another platform/OS if this bug applies
there as well or resolve this bug.

I will resolve this bug as WONTFIX in four weeks if no action has been taken.

Simon 'Sipaq' Paquet, please don't do much mass-actions. This bug is not
Mac-specific.

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.
