-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). 73.0 required a new profile, that profile continues to work in 75.0beta.

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

 == Dependencies for 78.0beta ==
 
-(to be determined)
+Various options were removed from old-configure. Some (such as system nss,nspr, zlib) are definitely still accepted, but the following are no longer accepted: --enable-startup-notification and --with-system-bz2. The options for --enable-strip and --enable-install-strip are among those removed from old-configure, it is possible that the options to disable-these might no-longer work.

+However, at this point I have not succesfully built any 78.0 beta, nor debugged why b2 is ending in error.
