User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8a4) Gecko/20040907 Firefox/0.9.1+ Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8a4) Gecko/20040907 Firefox/0.9.1+ Currently Thunderbird stores its profiles and settings in: Linux: ~/.Thunderbird Windows: X:/Documents and Settings/~/Application Data/Thunderbird Firefox and Sunbird have both switched to storing their respective profiles under a mozilla folder. This bug suggest that we move thunderbird preferences to follow suit: Linux: ~/.mozilla/Thunderbird Windows: X:/Documents and Settings/Application Data/Mozilla/Thunderbird Essentially i am suggesting adding "mozilla/" to the profile path that is gleaned from the users "Home direcotry" id imagine. This wont change the world but it will simplify the process that many users go through to reformat their PC's and move their profiles. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:

I dont know how much trouble relocating this would be but it would be nice to have it in the Final 1.0 release so that it doesnt change on users of a "feature complete" project later on.
