-Firefox has a nasty habit of requiring a new profile every few releases. I say this is nasty because logins, current tabs, plugins (even if still supported) and perhaps bookmarks can be lost. In addition, it tends to name the profiles default, then default.default when it creates another. This can also apply when ''downgrading'' the version (e.g. going from 69.0 to 68.2.0esr).

 If you wish to use multiple profiles (or to be able to rename or delete old profiles), open firefox with 'firefox -P'.
