When we first introduced the firefox profile created by the browse freenet script, a major worry was that occasionally firefox would decide that the Freenet profile is the default. At the time we thought this happened when the user closed the main firefox window without closing the Freenet window first. We still hear from people where this has happened occasionally, more often in the uninstall survey than on IRC. However, I have been unable to reproduce it recently with Iceweasel 2 and Firefox 3, the latter on both Windows. Using firefox -no-remote -P freenet <url> (as we do in the browse script), Firefox never seems to update the last-profile-used information: it only updates it if you use -ProfileManager and explicitly choose a profile.
Can anyone easily reproduce this bug? Maybe it's a 1.x bug, or only happened in some alpha/beta versions? Please contact me if you can. If it is still a big deal, I'm fairly sure I have a way to fix it: check profile.ini to see which is the default profile, and if necessary rewrite it (being careful of line endings). But since I'm not able to reproduce the bug, I'm not sure if it would be appropriate to introduce a potentially dangerous untested workaround. Please could anyone who can produce this bug on demand tell me. Thanks.
