Hi everybody, why does every installation has a another profile path?

%APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ljfit2fn.default-esr why is the always another cryptic path ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Can i choose the same profile path for another installation. Or is it not recommended?

And why does Thunderbird choose another profile path: %APPDATA%\Thunderbird\Profiles\v6gmiwll.default-release and not %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Thunderbird\Profiles\v6gmiwll.default-release per default.

Best regards.
