Hello,

I received a popup tab about creating separate profiles. I am still not seeing an option to create another profile, in my case keep personal and work browsing separate on my work computer. The articles I have read do not seem to fit my situation. Firefox is up to date. Thank you for your help.

I am tired of this bullshit.

So i was using the beta branch of the firefox and beta version stopped working with a site for some time. so i tried to come back to the stable version.

After i do that and fix my config. In every couple of hours there would be a notification window pop up with sound saying this

"firefox this profile was last used with a newer version of this application. Please create a new profile"

So i did create a new profile BUT i copy pasted my own configuration.UI stuff from my old settings from "About:config"

This notification STILL comes up FFS what do i need to do then?

HOW COME MY UI CONFIGURATION TRIGGERS THE DAMN NOTIFICATION?

I will not re-do my fckng UI configuration by hand.

Pinterest has been slow to load for the past month. Now it will not load at all. It works fine in safe mode. A fresh install of Firefox did not help anything? I see other folks are having the same problem. Amazon and Facebook are now doing the same thing in Firefox. These 3 programs work without issue in Chrome Brave and Edge. Any one have a fix?

Thanks, Wayne

bold text Firefox has been my browser forever. When I tried to open it this morning I was invited to create a profile, so no profile, no Firefox..... I've never had to do this before and am reluctant because of the apparent threat of losing all my passwords and bookmarks. I'm 85 years of age so don't need this complication. Any help would be appreciated, complicated high tech answer will probably be beyond me. Brian.

Split View in Firefox > Firefox Can’t Open This Page To protect your security, SITE will not allow Firefox to display the page if another site has embedded it.

I'm trying to develop an extension for firefox that emulates the Split Screen in Edge, a feature really missing in Firefox. Any workaround on this?

I have a question about deleting a Firefox profile. When I access the profile screen via "about:profiles," I see two profiles: "default-release" and "Default User." The "default-release" profile is fine because it displays the message "This is the active profile and cannot be deleted." But is it okay to delete the "Default User" profile? Should I also delete the files in the root directory of the C: drive and the local directory? If I delete the "Default User", will it be deleted as well?

FF 148.0, Intel Mac, current 15.7.4 (Sequoia)

In the middle of a browsing session I needed to consult my substantial browsing history and found it to be gone. I quit FF using the dropdown and restarted. After restarting FF the browsing history showed only that session and the TST sidebar with many tabs didn't display so I concluded FF created a new profile for startup but using my home page. I have the profile in use at the time (profile_a) and a month old backup of it. profile_a seems to have all the expected data and the bookmarks are correct. I've hacked around within Profile Groups and profiles.ini but FF refuses to use profile_a in spite of my edits, and worse is silent about it so I'm stuck and need help.

Possible related issue: is TST sensitive to the number of tabs? I'm a hoarder and find TST easier to use than bookmarks so had about 700 tabs stashed in TST.
