Firefox and Flock profiles being searched for by Hazel

I notice in my logs with the debug mode activated that Hazel tends to fail opening the profiles for Firefox and Flock quite often. This is due to the fact that, indeed, I do not have Firefox or Flock installed and consequently, those files do not exist. Here is the offending log output:

Code: Select all

I'm not sure if this is just Hazel trying to check for any other downloads folders and failing to find that information for Firefox or Flock, or if something else is happening. Regardless, I just thought that I would report it.

Thanks for the report. I'll have to double check but it should only check if the browsers are installed. It's a harmless error but I'll look into it and see if I can make sure it only happens when the browsers are present.
