Firefox Community Forum

I recently downloaded Firefox and made two profiles on it from the hamburger button in the top right. I make one called "Work Profile" and another called "Personal Profile". I was trying to pin each one to the task bar separately because I would use youtube to watch videos/listen to music on one window and do my work in another. I have enabled the group profiles on taskbar so they dont show up together under the same icon and added { -no-remote -P "Profile Name"} to each shortcut in its properties>target on windows explorer.

It just keeps bringing up the choose user profile window but it doesn't even have the two profiles listed that I want.

When I open default then all my profiles are gone in the top right profiles window but if I choose default-release my profiles are there to select again. I am pretty sure firefox just has two things it calls profiles, one is for multiple installs and the other in in each install and I don't know how to fix it now as all my settings/passwords/add-ons are setup and I would like to not have to do it again.

Is there an application to get rid of 'Old Firefox Data' folder? I tried to remove it once on another machine and i lost all internet connection (needed a full Windows restore) so very nervous about this.

For roughly three months I have been experiencing issues with Twitch.tv that I do not have on other browsers. Namely, after a random period of time the site will just "go out" on me. I can keep watching streams that are open, but any attempt to open a new window or tab results in a page with no elements loaded. During this "out" period none of my chats will send, and any other attempts to interact with Twitch will fail. After a random period of time, things will go back to normal.

I've tried clearing my cache and cookies, I've tried disabling and uninstalling all of my extensions, I've tried updating the browser, I've uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox, I've tried Incognito Mode, I've tried a DNS flush, I've refreshed Firefox and it didn't work.

I have found one thing that has worked though. I created two new profiles. The first had the issues occur again, but the second one hasn't experienced any of the same issues as far as I've seen, so I think the issue is with my settings. The trouble is, I don't know which setting is the issue, and deleting prefs.js doesn't appear to reset my settings, even after restarting my browser. Is there some step I'm missing regarding deleting prefs.js?

Please do NOT suggest using Firefox Refresh, as I am NOT interested in going through all the steps again, especially when it didn't work at all the first time I tried.

Hello I got a pop up or it was new tab informing about new firefox functions. It was about profile creation and management. Now i have two profiles and cant switch back to my old one. I cant seem to be able to delete new profile to return to my old one.
