Re: GNU IceCat 2.0.0.10-g1 and use with the alternate profile option

[inconnu]

Re IceCat's profile location:  I'm seeing this too.

I find that an empty ~/.gnuzilla directory is created, but also, the 
directory ~/.mozilla/firefox is created, and IceCat's profiles are 
created in the ~/.mozilla/firefox directory.  I double-checked by 
deleting ~/.gnuzilla and ~/.gnuzilla/firefox, and it recreated both, but 
only used the latter.
