<p>The long numbered one is created when a Refresh is performed. Usually only one of the two will have up-to-date files. Or, you can open the internal page <strong>about:profiles</strong> by typing or pasting that in the address bar and pressing Enter to load it. One of the profiles will be indicated as the one in use.

<p>Calling up the customize feature is the same since Firefox 29, as far as I can remember. Before that, I think it was a popup instead of a separate tab.

I'd like to upgrade from Firefox 56.0.2 to the latest version, which I believe is Firefox 62.
A few questions:
1) Can I do this via Menu: Help--&gt;About Firefox--&gt;Check for Updates?
That does seem to be the most direct and is how I used to do it before the Quantum version arrived</blockquote>
<p>That should work.
</p>
<blockquote>2) Will the bookmarks I now have in the Bookmarks Toolbar display as the new Bokmarks Toolbar along that horizontal (and then vertical) toolbar?</blockquote>
<p>Bookmarks should remain unchanged, but you may need to turn the Bookmarks Toolbar back on if it becomes hidden.
</p><p>As in Firefox 56, you can use one of these methods to show the toolbar list and select the desired bars there:
</p>
<ul><li> right-click (on Mac Ctrl+click) a blank spot on the tab bar (or the "+" button)
</li><li> (menu bar) View &gt; Toolbars<br><em>On Windows, tap the Alt key to activate the menu bar temporarily.</em>
</li><li> in Customize mode &gt; Toolbars button (see: <a href="/en-US/kb/customize-firefox-controls-buttons-and-toolbars" rel="nofollow">Customize Firefox controls, buttons and toolbars</a>)
</li></ul>
<p>To turn on the Bookmarks Toolbar, Menu Bar, or other bars, click it on the list.
</p>
<blockquote>3) I saved login information and passwords for many sites. Will those still show on the Firefox 62 if I update it as described above?</blockquote>
<p>Normally these are upgraded automatically.
</p><p>If you are nervous, make a backup copy of your profile folder. See: <a href="/en-US/kb/back-and-restore-information-firefox-profiles" rel="nofollow">Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles</a>.
