I've been having the same problem, and the solution you suggest didn't
work for me. Taking my NT profile dir as base:
c:\winnt\profiles\me\appdata\
Then my old profile is:
Mozilla\Profiles\myprofile\abcd.slt
Then, after MOZ forgets to use that profile, I try to create a new one
pointing to that dir....
If I set the profile path to (in the new profile dialog):
Mozilla\Profiles\myprofile
it uses, say:
Mozilla\Profiles\myprofile\efgh.slt
which won't work.
If I set the profile path to:
Mozilla\Profiles\myprofile\abcd.slt
it will then actually use, say:
Mozilla\Profiles\myprofile\abcd.slt\efgh.slt.
Either way, I can't see the old profile.
In my case, my mail/news dirs are located elsewhere, so when this
happens (3 times in the last few days, once after installing a nightly)
I just have to re-create the mail/news accounts again, and re-set their
directory settings back to the good locations. A pain, but atleast my
data is in tact.
All versions of MOZ that I've been having problems with are nightlies
over the last week or so.
sTu.
