Security. There was some holes in Netscape 4.x that allowed scripts on 
webpage to access profile data. There shouldn't be any such holes in 
Mozilla/Netscape 6, but if someone discovers one, the randomly generated 
folder name provides some extra security by making it harder for 
crackers to exploit the hole.
