Hi,
The upgrade from 78 to 91 caused Firefox (and Thunderbird) to create new
profiles for many users in our test group, but not on my test system.
The new version is installed in the same directory as before, so I did
not expect this to happen.
This raises a few questions:
- Does this only happen when the profile was created by an old version?
- Does the group policy, that is supposed to prevent this, only work
when the Mozilla installer is used to deploy Firefox?
- Is the environment variable MOZ_LEGACY_PROFILES=1 more reliable than
the group policy?
- What else can I do to reliably prevent this from happening?
I told all affected users to run 'firefox.exe -p' and/or
'thunderbird.exce -p' and select the other profile. That helped in the
cases that I have seen.
thanks,
Klaus
