So I sometimes run Firefox on windows via a link to the Firefox folder, in the sense of that there is a C:/Programs/Mozilla Firefox2 that is a link to C:/Programs/Mozilla Firefox, and I run C:/Programs/Mozilla Firefox2/firefox.exe. I do this in order to keep two different profiles pinned to the taskbar like two different browsers. However, today I started the second profile first, which I don't usually do, and the updater removed every file except itself from the first folder, converted the second from a symlink to a normal folder and moved the files there. Any idea on how to avoid this?
