    Broken web apps should crash in a nicer way
    
    Although #713 is fixed for new users, anyone who previously suffered
    from a broken web app migration is doomed to eternal crashes. We
    probably can't reasonably recover the broken profile dir, but we should
    at least try to warn users what is going on.
    
    
    (cherry picked from commit 53724537137c593076e9ca58add46387babdf16b)
