Suddenly I have to click passed something called a profile screen. Don't want it. totally useless. Absolutely annoying. I never want to see it again. How do I do that?

Recently a tiny icon of an empty shopping cart has been superimposed at the top right-hand corner of the Firefox icon in my system tray. I want to get rid of it. In addition, just in the last few days, I'm being asked to choose among profiles when I sign onto Firefox and I want to have only one default profile and to avoid that extra step in signing on.

I start the Firefox Browser from an icon on the desktop. This icon does not have a padlock symbol in the upper right corner of the icon. When the Firefox Browser starts an icon with a padlock symbol located in the upper right corner of the icon appear on the taskbar. What is the significance or the padlock symbol? What causes the padlock symbol to appear? How do I disable this option? Is this a feature added with a recent update to Firefox?

i am unable to open a specific profile as i want its always taking me to last profile i used .I tried getting help from AI chat bots and made a short cut for a profile but at the end even its opening the last profile i opened.

I imported my profiles from another machine to a new laptop. Now the profiles all work and I can launch into them using the shortcuts with -p "[name]" this now brings up the old wizard rather than launching directly into the profile, and the new profile manager does not see them at all.

about:profiles sees them properly.

The profiles were imported by using about:profiles to make new black profiles, then copying in the data as from the support article: http://mzl.la/1xKrFsk

Many thanks in advance for the help.

A couple of days ago I noticed that Firefox had started using "Profiles". I do not want a profile. When I wanted to open firefox a window popped up asking me to pick a profile. I deleted my account. Now Firefox will not let me use it because I don't have a "Profile". If I cannot use firefox without a profile, which I never had to do for umpteen years, then I well switch to Chrome.

First off - love Mozilla's work, thank you all for your efforts!

The problem: I f'd up with the Profiles option. I wanted to set up a Work profile on a new windows laptop associated with a new work email (msta....), and then separately have my personal profile connected to my gmail (mstn...).

Well somehow I managed to make my Work (default) profile connected to my overall Firefox + Google personal profile, and have spent a month in my ignorance saving away settings and bookmarks on this machine. Is there anyway that I can disconnect my Gmail account from the profile Work, and connect it to the secondary profile on the same machine titled 'Mel'? Or will I need to export the last month of bookmarks, implode my Mozilla install on this machine, and start over with new profiles and better practices?

Help, multipass!

Thanks, Mel

Dear Sir, I am trying to set up firefox browser.I have received a notice 'your new profile is good to go' I cannot see what I should do next.Please advise. Many thanks Roger Dace

I have moved my profile to a different location on the hard drive to make backups easier. How do I tell firefox where the profile is now located. c:\users\med\my data\PROFILES\mozillA\*.deFAUlt

It induced me to create a new profile. Then, I lost the old one. Who even knew about profiles? Firefox is now filling in passwords, among other serious setting changes I did not make. This is the worst experience I ever had with a browser. Firefox has been my steady for decades, always dependable and easy to manage. I think we broke up today.
