When I do an update for FF, I've been trying to do a profile reset just
to freshen things up. I was doing it manually (going to about:support)
and then clicking "Refresh Firefox" but that's a pain. I saw a post
here recently that said I can use:
-reset-profile to do this from the command line.
Two things I've noticed:
1)If I run "%programfiles\mozilla firefox\firefox.exe" -reset-profile, I
get the message that it can't find "reset-profile" But I switch the
Firefox program folder, it works (well, sort of).
2)If I go to the Firefox program folder and run start /wait firefox.exe
-reset-profile, it seems to do the reset, but it appears to be creating
a fresh profile and I look history and bookmarks.
Is this expected behaviour, or is there a bug, or am I doing something
wrong?
Running FF 66 (but I think it happened in 65 too).
