[documentation] How can I test first-start issues in PureBrowser?

Description

I noticed an issue with PureBrowser the first time I started it and reported it (e.g. https://tracker.pureos.net/T394 ). Since then I have been using PureBrowser and modified my browser profile such that the issue no longer occurs.

An update has landed and I want to confirm the fix. How can I do this without losing my new profile settings?

You can create a fresh profile, launch PureBrowser and then delete the profile:

  1. Close any running instances of PureBrowser
  2. Start with purebrowser --ProfileManager
  3. In the profile manager window, create a new profile "temp"
  4. Click "Start PureBrowser"

You can now test for the first-start issue. When you are done...

  1. Close any running instances
  2. Start with purebrowser --ProfileManager
  3. Delete the profile "temp" (delete profile and files)
  4. Close the profile manager window

Thanks for sharing. I do believe, however, that wiki is a better medium for sharing best practices than an issue tracker.

Not sure how to act on this, so I guess I'll simply leave it for others - e.g. either followup and "fix" this "issue", or move the content to a wiki, mention here where it moved, and then close it.
