on mac profiles lost after firefox update or computer restart
hi,
i lost profiles with all data two times in a week. firefox on mac seems entirely broken. after 1. I removed firefox and all profile data entirely.
2. data loss: in about:profiles I see 1 profile (with custom name). after restart the profile is still there, but all settings lost( Passwords, links, addons )
1. data loss: the same as happened before: I restarted the computer for update. than there were multiple profiles in about data. i got cunfused an in the end i deleted firefox entirely and reinstalled.
- on 1. there were multiple profiles shown in about:profiles - computer ass 2 firefox users and one admin account. - and it is a legacy core patcher installation. -- admin account was t used after os update to sequilia. --- unfortunately i had browser data excluded from backup
after 25 years firefox I'll install duck duck go for now.
is that cenario known ? may i have a trojan running ?

additional information:
from duckduckgo bookmark import dialog I see 4 firefox profiles. in firefox it's only one.
ok, this will not help much - seems data is there but the profiles are not indicated in profiles.ini .. seems firefox update as issues.
