 Alternatively do a two stage procedure, the first allows the user to have a profile without extensions and test that, as a second separate stage migrate extensions. [[User:John99|John99]] 03:51, 14 July 2011 (PDT)
+== User's Preferences ==
+Will be there any possibility of user to choose if he wants to migrate preferences (or some of them) to the new profile. I think that the process of setting up from scratch many of the preferences, like user interface options (e.g. a changed position of a button) or advanced settings (e.g. network connection settings), will be non-pleasant experience.

+== Deletion of the Old Profile ==
+I think that it will be nice to give the user the option to delete the old profile during that process. However, this option should be not recommended. If this is not possible, then we should inform the user that the old profile will remain saved. I think that this is important for security and privacy reasons. Just think the scenario of a user that has a saved password at the old profile, but at the new one he decides to delete it for security/privacy reasons. The password will remain available at the old profile and it is very possible that the user will not know that. [[User:Fredy|Fredy]] 04:24, 11 August 2011 (PDT)
