i have FF 60.5.0esr installed. created a separate profile for esr and another profile for 66.

downloaded FF 66.0b6. installed it on separate folder in Program Files(x86), upon starting FF, it asks me for a profile. i selected the 66 profile.

now why is it that my browsing history with esr can be used or seen with 66 profile?

Do you mean that it can see the other profiles, or it is loading other profiles?

The System Details list shows a Firefox 60 version for the user agent.

  • User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:60.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/60.0

This can be used by having "Resist Fingerprinting" enabled.

You can use the about:profiles page to check what profiles are available and which one Firefox is using.
