How to remove new profile created by Firefox during an update?
Firefox created a new Profile for me during a recent update and ignored the Profile I had been using for many years.
That probably occurred because Firefox couldn't find the original Profile. I had moved it to C:\0-FFox\ to shorten the length of file names. I had been getting File-Name-Length errors, which ended after moving the Profile closer to C:\.
Now I can't access or use the original Profile. I've researched the ins and outs of Profiles but can't find a solution to this problem. I want to add my old Profile to the new Profile created by Firefox and maybe switch between the two, or maybe revert to using only the old Profile. But I can't figure out how to do that. Adding a Profile seems to imply adding a new Profile and not an old one.
I sincerely hope you can help me solve this problem!
Many thanks! Wayne

Hi Wayne
With Firefox completely closed, you could copy the contents of the older profile folder to replace fully the contents of the new folder.
