I have been using the old firefox profiles system for ages. However, whenever I open my browser (in one of about 5 profiles), I always get this pop-up saying "Say hello to Firefox profiles". It is incredibly annoying and turning me off Firefox completely! Can somebody tell me how to turn this message off? I assume it's in the settings somewhere.

about:preferences#general, uncheck "recommend features as you browse" and optionally extensions

You can also open Firefox settings from the Firefox menu IG main menu. Click Settings in the menu and UNcheck "Recommend features as you browse" in the General panel, under Browsing.
