Comment:
Before restart, XRE_PROFILE_PATH is set to the profile path. See:
http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-
esr45/source/toolkit/xre/nsAppRunner.cpp#4419
This causes the SelectProfile() function to use that profile (and
therefore our migration code never gets a chance to run). See:
http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-
esr45/source/toolkit/xre/nsAppRunner.cpp#2333
The right fix is probably to ignore the XRE_PROFILE_PATH env variable if
it contains the path of the old default profile location
(.../TorBrowser.app/TorBrowser/Data/Browser/profile.default).
gk or boklm: We should add something to the TB 6.0a5 blog post to let
people know to expect this problem (they should quit and start TB again to
fix things).
