On starting up Mozilla, it appears that Mozilla can't find my user account's profile folder. What currently happens, and has had to happen since I've been using this Win2K desktop is I have to 'create' a new profile in my profile's folder everytime I start up. This has problems in that occasionally my whole Mozilla profile gets reset to the default setting... now, this is a real pain in the royal arse, if u get what i mean, as I have to tell Profile mgr to create a profile in a certain folder and then start-up.... [and as moz crashes due to it pre-release nature, this means i'd rather use IE as my browser... ]
the release notes state: http://www.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla0.9.7/#setprefs ] "Your profile directory is located at: %WINDOWS%\Application Data\Mozilla\Profiles\<profilename>\xxxxxxxx.slt\ on Windows " Now, the WINDOWS env variable wasn't set on this machine, so i set it uniformly.. but that doesn't work. Maybe the documentation is out of step. My profile folder is set to Roam and Synchronise with a server.... and I have heard that on encrypted NTFS drives, the profile mgr cant find the user's profile either. What I'm looking for is either: 1- a fix I can implement myself [ie. how does Moz attempt to find the user's profile folder, and error log to see if maybe permissions aren't set etc..] 2- a bug number [as if there isn't one, there should be] Any help? I have requested before.. but maybe this problem is a little obscure.... but is certainly a problem with running Moz in this Corporate Environment... Tanks Jon
