I think I was lucky in that I stumbled upon a great profile manager that worked very robustly & simply from within FF without any problems. FWIW the developer (a serious FF informed developer) has abandoned it because the new API currently lacks easy "bridging" between the Browser & the OS that needs to take up the slack for what has gone. After our discussion above I finally got motivated to hazard change. I can see I need to deal with launching profiles from the OS level, NOT within the Browser, now. One upside is that I found I can get the latest FF to run alongside FF 52 if I start the profile from the OS correctly (with the "-no-remote" option). That helps as I want incremental change that makes sense. Not being reduced to zero just because something I can't control changed for its own reasons. A complication (finally a simplicity once its working) for me is the standard day work I do I want to do always through a fully portable system. That is to do with me moving about a lot. A bad side effect of the FF change, not commented on much, is it kinda wiped out the (few) truly "portable" add-ons that can reliably use relative addressing for saving. > ...

But I'm not too concerned. I've waited for the dust to settle. And can wait a while more. Slowly some solutions are coming that mean I won't have to go back totally to ground zero.
