I agree. Something would be handy to differenciate between Netscape 6.x
based profiles and Mozilla-based profiles. And make it so each one can
see most of the same files, so you can possibly use Netscape 6.x and
Mozilla with the same profile, just build in some kind of
Profile-Protection, that will save important stuff or something, so it
can be backed up.
