Are you referring to https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/345fe119b8cf using GetPath() on all platforms and not just Windows? Experimenting in an Ubuntu VM, Firefox 57.0.1 indeed fails to save prefs and history (but saves the HTTP disk cache and various other things) if the profile path has an illegal byte in it. Additionally, on Debian-based systems generally, adduser only allows usernames (and, thereby in the common case where the home directory matches the user name, home directories) that conform to the POSIX portable username rules (subset of ASCII). useradd appears to have no such safeguards. -- Henri Sivonen hsivo...@hsivonen.fi https://hsivonen.fi/ _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
