Firefox Community Forum

This morning when I started up Firefox it had a pop-up about the new profiles feature, asking to create a new profile. Just out of curiosity I clicked the create profile button to see what the interface would look like. Since I didn't actually want to create the profile I hit the delete button, but nothing happened. So I closed the window. I then tried delete the new profile (then called "Profile 1") by hitting the trash can from the choose profiles screen. Still nothing happens. At this point my original profile window is still open, but I close everything to restart Firefox in hopes that it will allow me to delete this profile I never wanted to begin with.

The Choose profile window comes up, I select original profile and nothing happens. I can open the new "Profile 1", which I have since labelled "Bad Profile".

D:\Users\<USERNAME>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles doesn't appear to have my original profile anywhere.

I'm deeply concerned this beta feature I never asked for has deleted my original profile when it should have deleted the new profile.

Hello

I want some help please. When I open links from viber or discord, the links open in a new firefox window not the one am using at the time and they open on a no firefox profile window. I don't know what do and how to make the links open in the right firefox window. Maybe you can help me somehow?

I am using the new profile switching feature in the UI, from top of the hamburger menu. Firefox is my default browser on Windows.

Now, I want all links I activate from other Windows programs to open in a specific profile. I use the other profiles for auxilary tasks.

Is there any way to achieve this?

Hello, on my local disk I have Firefox for Windows (10) installed for more than 2 years now, and the location: %Appdata%\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xxxxxxxx.deault-release\storage\to-be-removed has more than 7000 subfolders and files that sums up to 4GB of data, dating from mid 2023.

I naturally assume that a "to-be-removed" named folder should have it's content removed by some automated task or maintenance service, right? Is this normal, or is there some bug in application maintenance / updating process?

Thank you
