Finding a profile for mozilla based software is easy. Just find the
profiles.ini to get the pathnames to where profiles are.  Figuring out
where it is isn't hard, you just have to check several variations of
.mozilla, .mozilla-firefox, .firefox, in several directories (even on the
same platform).

Hateful? Not as much as actually parsing the mork file format:
