Linux User So. I recently followed a Mozilla guide, previously posted, and something that I did, or changed, I now have a very annoying "profile" name in the title bar. Further to that, I now have an additional menu option called "Profiles", with --"profile --Add Profile

Manage Profiles

I have never had or seen these items, except when I've moved my profile from an old computer to a new computer, using the console of "firefox -P" command.

It is becoming very annoying as I only have one profile, and I don't want an more.

Question. How to I block the display of 'profile information' ? Thanks

You did nothing to cause this. It's the new Profiles system, described here: Manage Firefox profiles.

You can remove the Title bar, if you wish by customizing Firefox:

  1. Click the menu button Fx89menuButton in the top-right corner, click "More tools", and choose "Customize toolbar".
    FxMenu-MoreTools-CustomizeToolbar
  2. You can then uncheck the box for Title Bar setting at the bottom of the Customize window.
    Fx112CustomizeFirefox-linux

For more information see Customize Firefox controls, buttons and toolbars.

Others have complained about seeing "Original profile" in the Title bar. See https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/discussions/unnecessary-quot-original-profile-quot-in-window-title/m-p/112240#M43392

Thanks AliceWyman I finally found the issue, after clicking on the link, you provided. FireFox suddenly decided that it wanted my profile in in the original folder, not my preferred PROFILE folder.
