Zotero 7 Beta 68: Error when attempting to delete Zotero profile

FeralFlora

When I try to delete a newly created Zotero profile in the profile manager, I get the following error:

```
this.init@chrome://zotero/content/xpcom/zotero.js:238:5
ZoteroService@jar:file:///C:/Program%20Files/Zotero/app/omni.ja!/components/zotero-service.js:351:23

ConfirmDelete@chrome://mozapps/content/profile/profileSelection.js:318:41

```

At the same time, I would get a pop-up that had two buttons "Check for update" and "Quit".

I only opened the profile once after creating it, if that's relevant.

Eventually, after several attempts, I managed to get the profile deleted, despite a slightly different error that I didn't manage to copy. In this instance, the error didn't appear until I went to open Zotero's default profile after deleting the other profile.

I can reproduce — thanks. We'll see what we can do.

For now, if you want to delete a profile, you can just delete the folder and then remove the appropriate entry from profiles.ini in the folder that contains Profiles.

Or, actually, you can run Zotero.openInViewer('about:profiles') from Tools → Developer → Run JavaScript.

OK, we've fixed this for the next beta.
