[Affected versions]:
Firefox 59.0b13 (Build Id:20180226180053)
Firefox 60.0a1  (2018.02.28)

[Unaffected versions]:
Firefox 57.0 (Build Id:20171112125346)

[Affected platforms]:
Windows 8.1 x64
Mac OS 10.13.4
Ubuntu 14.04 x64

[Steps to reproduce]:
1.Launch Firefox.
2.Go to about:profiles in URL.
3.Create some new profiles if you don't have yet.
4.On about:profiles page, select a profile you want to delete by clicking the "Remove" button for it. On "Delete Profile" prompt , select the "Don't Delete Files" button. "Don't Delete Files" is the preferred option because it saves the old profile's folder and allows you to recover the files to a new profile. 

[Expected result]:
This option shouldn't delete the folder: “C:\Users\XXX\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\dycc44f4.test”

[Actual result]:
"Don't Delete Files" option deletes the selected profile folder.
This doesn't reproduce while performing the same steps in Profile Manager. Start the Profile Manager when Firefox is closed, the profile folder and its files are not deleted.

[Regression range]:
This seems to be a regression:
Last good build: 2017.10.12
First bad build: 2017.10.13

Seems like this would be a good uplift candidate once verified on Nightly.
