 > Oh, one thing was bothering me about this patch. In
 nsXREDirProvider::AppendProfilePath(), you removed some initializations
 that made me nervous. I think in all cases where the empty strings were
 used, IsEmpty() was checked first, but I removed the code that tries to
 use them anyways just to be safe:

 We left the lines in because the patch was smaller (which may reduce
 future conflicts when merging with future ESR releases).

 Your changes look fine, except I would initialize rv to NS_OK rather than
 an error.  If somehow the profile string was empty, the method would fail
 on the NS_ENSURE_SUCCESS line.
