Firefox Profiles Feature
Yesterday, I tried to create a shortcuts for 2 profiles that I used on FF 149. Not sure why, but it seems the update was also in progress, the result, when the command line parameter of the profilename didn't work. I got a new UI to select the profiles, which listed the profile directory names instead of profile-names. I backed up the ..../Firefox from my user-home directory on mac. I removed the Firefox completely. Since then I have installed and reinstalled FF 150 almost 20 times and trying to copy over the profiles data. I am getting incosistent behaviour. On a clean FF150, I am able to see the profile picker at launch with profile name (default being visible). I can add profiles and launch the new profiles. However, when I copy over the data from old profile backups, all this disappears. The profile manager doesn't show any profile names.
Now at the point of giving up and going back to Safari as the working week is starting, PRODUCTIVITY is already shafted. Spend over 8-10 hours already. I wonder if experts here have any solution to recovering profiles. If not, well, may be bite the bullet and go back to Safari until some expert encounters this user-level problem.
