Firefox 140.10.2esr - old version and won't load profile

Hi all,

Firefox 140.10.2esr Windows 11

Opened Firefox this morning and it said I was using an old version of Firefox and it couldn't load my profile. I have always used the esr version.

I had a look at the compatibility.ini file under my profile and it had version 150.xx. Is that a bug with the last update?

To recover I backed up my profile then changed the compatibility version to the version of Firefox I am using. I was able to load my profile and while all my bookmarks and settings are there, my saved credentials are not. The key4.db and logins.json file are both still under my profile folder, they just don't seem to be recognised; no errors. Viewing the logins.json shows my encrypted credentials.

Does anyone know what is going on and how to resolve?

thanks
