96601 - Make path to profile dir predictable

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 96606

(Core Graveyard :: Profile: BackEnd, defect)

Description

[Markus Gerstel]

This is the second part of the neverending story :
"If M$ IE is good at patronizing users, Mozilla MUST be better !"

(A short summary : Mozilla-created profiles will not reside in /mozilla/profile
but instead in /mozilla/profile/08sdfj3rf.slt - Bug 56002
This so-called "feature" is so important for some developers that they can't
live without it.
Since this "intentional security feature" (which increases security to a maximum
- be assured !) certainly does not cause any problems (besides Bug 95331 or Bug
93112 or maybe Bug 63851) and since this feature is so important nobody on earth
can live without it, it MUST be mandatory - Bug 70931)

I was sorry to hear some rebellious enitites are out there who dislike this
marvellous feature and requested removal, calling it "unneccessary",
"ridiculous", "user unfriendly", etc.

Hm. Would not be that surprising if this bug somehow disappears in a few minutes
or gets "verified wontfix" or "verified invalid" or even "verified idiot".

Want more ? Proceed to the next bug, an even better description why this
so-called feature is only annoying - and no security at all
