Invalid Directory of profile creation
In Firefox, If I create profiles via about:profiles
it creates profiles and store Profile data in this Directory :
C:\Users\Edward\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xxxxxx.Default
But When I use the Add-On the Profiles have the directory changed as below :
C:\Users\Edward\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\xxxxx.Default
It should follow the default Directory Scheme. This might cause usability issues.
If you are releasing a Fix for this. Would be great. In the meantime, Could someone help me Moving my Profiles safely into Profiles
Folder and use FF as usual ?
The current behavior is actually intentional. This is because Firefox is very inconsistent. On Windows it seems to put new profiles in:
C:\Users\Edward\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xxxxxx.Default
On Linux it puts stuff in:
C:\Users\Edward\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\xxxxx.Default
But I'm not even sure about this because maybe on different Windows/Linux systems it does different things.
Either way, Firefox doesn't seem to care where we put profiles and it doesn't seem to cause any usability issues. I will implement some method to move profiles in the future so if you don't like where the extension puts the profiles you can just move them.
