The Issue: I want to copy all bookmarks/Logins/PW from original into two additional already created but not used Profiles. Hence, I have created 3 desired profiles.

I want to copy into each profile the "Original" Bookmarks/Logins/PW nothing else matters to me, i can go to each profile and modify its settings after that and I have read the device Sync considerations.

At this stage, do I abandon the already created 2 additional Profiles and follow the Copy to New Profile procedures outlined in FAQs?

The benefit to my current state is I could copy in "Original" Bookmarks/Logins/PWs to the newly create profiles that are vacant I could then go into each profile to delete the non-relevant data.'

I have read the FAQ differences for Containers vs Profiles and still feel Profiles is best for me. I have also read Sync and the associated threads in FAQ. I have also read Copy from "Original" profile but it seems to apply when creating a Profile.

In the Original profil, I have three Bookmark sub-folders and over 200 bookmarks, plus over 480 Login/PWs. I wanted something like Profiles feature, to put my personal (PW, Bookmarks & Logins) into its own areas' Profile. The use case is Original I use for learning, Personal for banking and medical, the 3rd I have setup one Not For Profit Organization Profile. Each has relevant bookmarks/Logins.PW.

So I created my Profiles. Then realized the PW/Bookmarks/Logins are truly separated.

Hello,

I've been using the profile manager, and wanted to delete a profile that i have made. However, when i select the option to delete it, it only opens up a new tab in the profile called "about:deleteprofile', which displays an empty page and does nothing. Then, I would try to delete the profile manually, in the profiles folder, but if I opened firefox or restarted my computer, it would just come back. I have attatched the relevant images below.

Just this week firefox has been demanding that I choose a profile before I gain access. Can I skip this step? And how can I change the unpleasant blob that I must choose. I have got one answer which requests a screen shot but I can't find my question to attach it. (I can't find the old search questions--but I'm most elderly.) and need links or reminders. Anyway, I'll put the screen shot here.
