Buggy with FF profiles with accented letters (fixed)

[paulo99]

Hello

Thanks for this useful tiny tool.

But SF 1.4 doesn't support Firefox profiles with accented letters under Win XP.
Ex: %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\é6o1üpbâqb.default\

Anyway that seems to work with Vista and Seven.

Maybe something is broken with UTF-8 and folder names...

Can you test that and fix the bug?

Thanks. Bye.

Dear sir,

Could you please share your profiles.ini file?

I thought it's worked under Vista but it didn't.
So I think SF 1.4 is buggy with accented profiles under any Windows OS.

You can try to create a new profile:

Code: Select all

firefox.exe -ProfileManager

http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Managing+profiles

Test conditions:
Vista SP2 32 bits
FF 3.6
test profile: \Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xpk6364h.$a6öç2énè-test

SF 1.4 fails to locate the path name of the test profile with accented letters.



profiles.ini

Code: Select all

[General]
StartWithLastProfile=1

[Profile0]
Name=default
IsRelative=1
Path=Profiles/qbezd7on.default
Default=1

[Profile1]
Name=$a6öç2énè-test
IsRelative=1
Path=Profiles/xpk6364h.$a6öç2énè-test

Any news about a bug fix?

[paulo99]

I tested SF 1.4.1, the bug remains.

[paulo99]

Is a future fix planned for this bug?
Many users of Firefox are not English and use profiles with accented letters.

paulo99, could you please send the .ini file to the support e-mail (at the contact page), because it's hard to guess its encoding. Thank you in advance

[paulo99]

I sent you an email with profiles.ini joined.

But you can test yourself as I said in this post.

Bye.

Dear sir,

Please check the SpeedyFox 1.4.2 release, it should work fine.

I tested and it's fixed now.
Thanks.
