For a long time I've used Firefox on Linux with multiple instances each with their own profile folder. Today when I try to run these instances with separate profile folders I get the following error:
> Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To use Firefox, you must first close the existing Firefox process, restart your device, or use a different profile.
Profiles are created like this:
firefox --new-instance --createprofile "PROFILENAME ~/.firefox-PROFILENAME"
They are run like this:
firefox --new-instance --profile "~/.firefox-PROFILENAME"
It seems something has broken with the instance isolation as this is now throwing an error. Additionally I run "createprofile" it doesn't seem to actually create the folder.
Is it possible to install Firefox (or at least the profiles) onto an external SSD (i.e., not the C: drive)? If so, how? Note: this is not about migration/backup/recovery … (funda kabanzi)
Is it possible to install Firefox (or at least the profiles) onto an external SSD (i.e., not the C: drive)? If so, how?
Note: this is not about migration/backup/recovery of profiles. Nor is it about where files are downloaded by default.
Windows 11 is consuming nearly all of the C: drive. I badly need to get Firefox (and later Thunderbird) onto my E: drive. I further note that the installer gives no options whatsoever as to the destination drive.
Most of the help I've found on the web is clearly outdated.
Thanks. jt
