[Mozilla Enterprise] disable "Profile per Install"

[Lavrijsen, Mark]

Hello,

For years we have been using application virtualisation, different config files(the most important one for this question profiles.ini).
In profiles.ini we have this:
[General]
StartWithLastProfile=1
[Profile0]
Name=User
IsRelative=0
Path=h:\FireFox
Default=1

The H:\ drive is the user Windows networkdrive. For years now this resulted in 0-hassle experience for our users. New users got their Firefox profile created in h:\Firefox. Regardless of where they logged on(VDI/TS/Computers) , they had their Firefox profile.

Now, since Firefox 67, this would not work anymore because of the new "profile per install" feature. This is due to the nature of Application Virtualisation where the package is loaded from virtual filesystem(that is not really for example c:\Program files\Mozilla Firefox, but there are some random GUID's used - although normally the software isn't aware of this).

But regardless of what App-V or Firefox under the hood do, I just want firefox to honour what is in profiles.ini. What is now does is create a Firefox profile(a separate one, on every computer) under the Windows user profile, but that is useless.

Does anybody know a way of disabling "Profile per install" or another way to work around this problem?
Thank you in advance!
