I think I would not bother adding these 2 new messages and just re-use the
IDS_COULDNT_OPEN_PROFILE_ERROR message for all of the related errors. The
difference between these two cases to an end-user is not actionable and it just
adds more messages we need to maintain.

I think we still need to add one string if two strings are too much.
IDS_COULDNT_OPEN_PROFILE_ERROR does not carry the notion that Chromium cannot
start (I am using it in 2061593002). Here we need a string that clearly state
that Chromium cannot start.
