Problem with profiles after installing profile-switcher-connector

Open samoruk opened this issue 3 years ago • 0 comments

Setup: I have both normal and dev-edition FF installed. Normally both version work as expected - use multiple profiles in release version of FF via about:profiles and open dev-edition separately.

Problem: After installing profile-switcher-connector which worked fine and i could launch separate profiles with chrome style switcher. Then i needed to use FF dev-edition which i tried to start via separate shortcut. This did not work - it briefly started with window flashing and then default profile from release FF version has opened. After several FF restarts it appears all profiles are mixed up now.

Update: With a bit more testing around opening profiles with an incorrect version of FF using -ProfileManager and it appears that the problem does happen without profile-switch-connector. So i must have accidentally selected incorrect profile using profile switcher. A minor suggestion for the main extension: it could be useful to be able to hide profiles from the dropdown list.
