[Mozilla Enterprise] upcoming ESR 68 / Impact of "Dedicated profiles per Firefox installation"

[Bardo Wolf]

Hello,

what is the impact of the new feature "Dedicated profiles per Firefox 
installation" is for the upcoming  ESR 68?

Is every ESR 68.x version a new version?

 From 
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/dedicated-profiles-firefox-installation#w_what-are-profiles

it seems so:

"Beginning with Firefox version 67, Firefox will use a dedicated profile 
for each installation of Firefox (including Nightly, Beta, Developer 
Edition, and ESR installations)"

We deploy firefox on windows clients by removing/purgings old versions 
und redeploy firefox by choosing x86/x64 / language / Version (esr or 
standard, at the moment 60.7.0 or 67.0)

For upgrading to 67.0 we mad a ugly workaround creating the installs.ini 
and patching the profile.ini to prevent users from "loosing" their profiles.

So from my point of view it would be great

to have a policy or another scriptable way to disable the "dedicated 
profile" feature

kind regards,
Bardo Wolf
