Buggy with FF profiles with accented letters (fixed)

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:
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

I tested SF 1.4.1, the bug remains.

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

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.
