firefox icon
the firefox icon on my taskbar has a shopping bag tied to it. What is it and how do I get rid of it?
Chosen solution
Think I've got bigger problems than Icon. I deleted Profile1 and can't find it locally. I noticed the profile named Original and thought I should keep that. Now I find I had more than one profile at Mozilla at least I think I did because I found two passwords saved. I think one was associated with username macciofe and the other just associated with my email as username. Anyway is this support area shows Fred Macciocchi when I look in this profile I think I see user macciofe. I don't think I'm going to be able to figure it out. Also does my profile link to my firefox current session. I'm definitely in trouble. When I deleted profile1 there were lots of files that were part of it. Can that deletion be recovered? I've looked on both machines locally (recycle bin ) but nothing there. Help if you can.

This is your profile indicator and it means that you've created additional profile(s). You can change it in the profile manager.
Received AI message from Mozilla. Said because I had another profile in firefox that caused the shopping bag to appear. I deleted profile1. Shopping bag still there? Only have original profile now
I think by deleting it i lost my latest bookmark tool bar on this pc. My other pc has whatever profile i need but too many problems to solve right now. The profile that is showing is labelled original. The one I deleted was labeled profile1. Maybe I can try importing at least bookmarks from edge?
I didn't know that we have AI bot answering questions...
Sorry saw no reply in my email on the header and jumped to conclusion. ;-( I had a catastrophic hardware failure and after downloading firefox on this new machine I'm getting all kinds of things I don't understand happening. I'm a hardware guy. working through problems but noticed the shopping bag on the pinned taskbar and was concerned. It's still there and the bookmarks from edge are associated with profile1. They are not current so I need to look at failed pc which is now back up SSD was not damaged. I'll work on it and come back here once i find the bookmark file. Been a firefox user at least 10years. Thx TyDraniu

AI copilot helped find files needed to restore profile located in Win11. Firefox icon with shopping bag was due to downloading Firefox via Microsoft Store.
