Oh, do we have a clean profile API already? If so, I missed it when I was looking for it, a few years ago. On 19/12/15 21:24, Philip Chee wrote: > On 19/12/2015 14:52, David Rajchenbach-Teller wrote: >> In that case, perhaps the first thing to land and let ride the >> trains would be a clean

Re: about:profiles and the new profile manager

Note that there are add-ons such as "Profile Switcher" which allow you to display the profile manager dialog without touching the command-line. I don't know if that qualifies as "user facing" or not. It's certainly an advanced user feature that most people will never see. kats On Fri, Dec 18,
