What has changed in Firefox 66 related to upgrades?
I do upgrades in different ways depending on if it is a minor or major version upgrade. Nothing odd. With major upgrades I: download the install file, take a backup of the profile, run the upgrade, and I don't select the "maintenance service" (advanced install option). With minor upgrades I simply let it install and restart Fx.
This time I went from v. 65.0.2 to 66.0.1, since that minor version change came rather close after Fx 66.
As per above, I cleaned the cache, did a backup of the profile and ran the install file. At first start of Fx I was confronted with the Profile manager asking for a profile. I selected the default one, and had to check the box to always use this profile. (There is only one. Something wrong with profile.ini?)
(I had created another (test) profile many months and versions ago, but it was deleted via the Profile managersince long time ago.)
Why this (starting with Profile manager)? Has never happened after an upgrade.
And now, a minor version upgrade, Fx 66.0.2 arrived. I hadn't got any notifications in Fx yet, but saw it mentioned in news. Decided to upgrade by closing tabs and Fx, cleaning cache, to do some other task, and when I clicked on Fx's icon, to start the browser and do a search for updates, I was confronted with the question if I would like to run the upgrade. It was already there.
So what has changed?
