Will the profile name still be stored in profiles.ini? We actually edit this to force all desktops to have the same profile name.
[General] StartWithLastProfile=1 [Profile0] Name=MMC_USER_60 IsRelative=1 Path=Profiles/MMC_USER_60 From: Enterprise [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Mike Kaply Sent: Wednesday, June 26, 2019 11:06 AM To: Klaus Hartnegg <[email protected]> Cc: Mozilla.org <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [Mozilla Enterprise] Downgrade Protection and Profile Per Installation in Firefox 68 Firefox will only create a new profile if it determines that the install directory has changed from the previous Firefox that used this profile. So if you have Firefox installed in two different directories, they will use two different profiles. New versions of Firefox will not create new profiles since they use the same install directory.

Will the version number become part of the name of the profile directory? Or will it do the same guid-madness that already causes Windows to forget Firefox as default-browser with each update? Will Firefox compare on each start its version with the one in the profile directory, and if its own version is higher then trigger a migration to a new profile directory? Using the newest of the existing ones as source? Does this only affect the directory in appdata, or also in localappdata? What will happen with all the old directories? They already consume a lot of disk space. _______________________________________________ Enterprise mailing list [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/enterprise To unsubscribe from this list, please visit https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/enterprise or send an email to [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> with a subject of "unsubscribe" ________________________________ This email and any attachments may be confidential or proprietary.
