[🐛 Bug]: Firefox ProfilesIni.readProfiles() does not handle files written in UTF-16 (?)
See original GitHub issueWhat happened?
Firefox ProfilesIni.readProfiles() does not handle files written in UTF-16, I think. The following line ignores the encoding bytes at the front of the file.
How can we reproduce the issue?
The following code returns `null` even though the profile is correct.
new ProfilesIni().
getProfile("nathan");
