Firefox Community Forum

I made the mistake to following Mozilla's advice on why my tabs stopped coming back after I closed out, despite the fact that I had that selected in my settings. Now I'm stuck with an "Old Firefox Data" folder on my desktop and I can't remove it because I need administrator privileges -- but it's my personal PC. WTF

Just switched to Firefox. I made a work firefox profile and a home firefox profile. I'd like to have them both open simultaneously in different windows.

When I go to `about:profiles` I see both profiles there but I don't see the button to launch a profile in a new window or an option to open one. In Chrome it's really easy you click on your user icon on the top right and can toggle to whatever profile.

I can however make a new default profile, and launch that in a new window, and then log in to my home profile. But if I close that profile accidentally I have to make a whole new profile and do everything again. So already today I've accidentally closed my home profile 3 times and I've had to make 3 new profiles to sign in to home again.

It's really clunky. Is there an easier way to do this?

Hi all, I'm really confused. I posted about this the other day, but it doesn't look like that topic got any views, and I have a bit more information, so I'm starting a new topic here. When I click on a link in an email, whether that be from Thunderbird or Outlook, Firefox opens as expected, but none of my settings appear to carry over. That means I don't have access to my browsing history, it prompts if Firefox should use Zoom to open links which should already be set, and other things that act like Firefox is not customized yet, even though it's been my default browser for years now. Additionally, I'm not sure if Chrome got set as my default browser or if it asks every time it detects another browser is open, but it asked me again today if I wanted to set it as my default. I had Chrome open because I use it when interacting with the Google applications for my work. When I went in to set the default file types for Firefox, two Firefox options showed up, so I'm not sure which one to choose. Can someone please help with this?
