<p>How's that relevant? Have you read <strong>carefully</strong> my question? I already told about my entire profile not loading on launch. "An entire profile" means "bookmarks, history, passwords" among other things.
</p><p>I sorted out by setting the profile in question as default one in hidden preferences "about:profiles".
</p>How about your other information?
bookmarks, history, passwords . . . . .

</p>Hello,
This forum has a very confusing structure so I beg your pardon in case I'm posting to a wrong2019-08-20T22:54:29-07:00ilja.shebalinhttps://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1257198#answer-1245807<p>Hello,
This forum has a very confusing structure so I beg your pardon in case I'm posting to a wrong thread. I have a similar issue but in macOS High Sierra: all pages load very well etc however the problem is that every time I launch Firefox it starts a new fresh session with default preferences completely anew, <strong>ignoring my profile</strong>.
I run FF in Mavericks as well and I don't have this issue there.
</p>That was very good work. Well done.

Disabling it and FF loads perfectly.

Silly me.
It seems to load ok with all addons disabled.
So, I then loaded FF as normal. Ju2019-04-24T08:48:06-07:00teeny_weenyhttps://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1257198#answer-1215799<p>Thanks.
