If all you have is Firefox Release and Firefox Developer Edition then you should see no change as this feature rolls out. This change is about adding that feature to the other channels of Firefox like Nightly. Or maybe, since 67 it will be possible to have installed contemporary different versions such as 67, 68, 69, and so on?įirefox Developer Edition has had its own separate profile for a while now. I sincerely did not understande completely…Īctually I have Firefox updated release and contemporary Firefox Developer Edition installed on my system and each one already has each profile (it was by default just from first time, I did not explicitly set different profiles for both of them) and each one, when updated to its own new version continue to use previous profile.Īctually I have release 64 installed, let’s suppose that it could be directly the final 67 one, when 68 will become the final release, it will create another profile on my system, and then it will re-happen when future 69 will become available?

What if I already use separate profiles for my different Firefox installations? If you come across a bug or have any suggestions we really welcome your input through our support channels. We really hope that this change will make it simpler for Firefox users to start running Nightly.
Users of only one Firefox install or users of multiple Firefox installs who already had set different profiles for different installations will not notice the change Any previous profile data is safe and attached to the first Firefox installation that was opened after this change.

You also get additional benefits like sending tabs and secure password storage. Sync is the easiest way to make your profiles consistent on all of your versions of Firefox. If you would like the information you save to Firefox to be the same on all versions, you can use a Firefox Account to keep them in sync. If you do nothing, your profile data will be different on each version of Firefox. This will apply to Nightly 67 initially and then to all versions of release 67 and above as the change makes it way to Developer Edition, Beta, Firefox, and ESR. Starting with Firefox 67, Firefox installations will now have separate profiles.Any previous profile data is saved and associated with the first Firefox installation that was opened after this change. You have not lost any personal data or customizations.This will make Firefox more stable when switching between versions on the same computer and will also allow you to run different Firefox installations at the same time: With Firefox 67, Firefox will begin using a dedicated profile for each Firefox version (including Nightly, Beta, Developer Edition, and ESR). Previously, all Firefox versions shared a single profile by default. What changes are we making to profiles in Firefox 67? More details on profiles are can be found here. This profile is stored in a location separate from the Firefox program files. What are profiles?įirefox saves information such as bookmarks, passwords and user preferences in a set of files called your profile.
Supporting profiles per installation is a feature that has been requested by pre-release users for a long time now and we’re pleased to announce that starting with Firefox 67 users will be able to run different installs of Firefox side by side without needing to manage profiles. With Firefox 67 you’ll be able to run different Firefox installs side by side by default.
