updated firefox & profile data lost (bookmarks, addons...) - which Profile to activate?

updated my wife's computer firefox to 115.24.0 (esr) and the profile data is lost (bookmarks, addons...).

Went to about:profile and it says PROFILE IN USE: default esr which is the 5th out of six profiles, top to bottom. It should tell me the creation date for each profile.

The 6th in line says "profile: default -release" Is the last in line the NEWEST profile? Should I set that one to be active ( ie the "default profile)?

This usage of the word DEFAULT in multiple meanings is confusing The display should number each profile and tell the user which is the oldest to newest.

This is acting like it is a new version, not a mere update - the user should be warned before he is allowed to perform that process, and given links to what will need to be done to retrieve the previous Profile.
