Can No Longer Edit Profile

Hi, When I click on the profile icon in the top right, I can no longer edit one of my profiles ("School"). I can still open it, bookmarks/passwords are still there, but I have to log back into everything and in the School profile, I can't switch back to "Personal" by clicking on the profile icon like normal.

I'm on Windows, and yesterday was showing something on my laptop to a mac user. They kept right clicking or something, and some tabs greyed out before I had to just close firefox. When I opened it again later using the "School" profile shortcut on my desktop, it opened a blank/new page. I was able to sign back into the account since I have sync on, so my passwords/bookmarks/etc are there, but I can't edit it any longer and can't make a new profile shortcut for my desktop. And when I open Firefox from my taskbar, it automatically opens my Personal profile instead of letting me choose which. Any ideas on what might have gone wrong & how I can fix it? Thank you!

Have you checked the [profiles.ini] to see how it registers your Profiles

Friends messing with my computer is a def no :)

I looked, and it seems to have my 2 profiles. There's also this [Install] part for one of the profiles that might be the issue? I will keep looking into it, thank you!

Interesting:

So which is the locked profile as you see it?

Before you mess with the file make a copy :)

A few things that I'm looking at, though better investigate the profiles.ini before you take note of my ideas

1. Show selector could be changed from 0 to 1 2. Locked could be changed from 1 to 0
